IPv6 address on Safari 8

[Michael Chang]

On OS X 10.9.5 and Safari 7.1 (9537.85.10.17.1) I see:

[2a02:ed8:4444::8] yields "first part of its address is not valid".
[2a02:0ed8:4444::8] (change the second part) yields a webpage.
[2a02:ed8:4444:0::8] yields "first part of its address is not valid".
[2a02:0ed8:4444:0::8] (change the second part) yields a webpage.
