Browsers and link-local IPv6 address literals

[Simon Perreault]

Am I becoming crazy or do URIs such as these no longer work?

http://[fe80::1%em0]/
http://[fe80::1%25em0]/
http://[fe80::1%em0]:80/
http://[fe80::1%25em0]:80/

I tested Firefox 26.0 and Chrome 32.0.1700.102 on Fedora 20. The
browsers just pass the whole string to Google. There seems to be no
attempt at connecting: no ND, no SYN, nothing. Just straight to Google.

Did we completely fail with RFC 6874?
