Calling IPV6 Address in Browser

Q: Now, I know how to configure IPV6 environment. How to call / form a IPV6 URL in browser?

A: As IPV6 is extended to Hexa from Octa , it contains of literals (a to f). Here we can see the IPV6 support browsers, that can handle these literals in URL.

For command line or browser's IPV6 addresses, we should specify the URL in enclosed square brackets.
 Ex:    [fec0::2]

If we setup the IPV6 environment in your local machine, we may have URL as below fe80::10a1:3c91:f19c:17aa%20

If you want to access the IPV6 URL, the percent character (%) in the IPv6 literal address must be percent escaped when present in the URI.
For example, the scope ID  fe80::10a1:3c91:f19c:17aa%20, must appear in the URI as http://[ fe80::10a1:3c91:f19c:17aa%2520]/, where %25 is the hex encoded percent character (%).

In general, we can also use the URL till percent character (%).
Ex:  http://[fe80::10a1:3c91:f19c:17aa]/

Remaining part of the URL is same as IPV4 URL structure. Sample URL is given below.
   http://[fe80::10a1:3c91:f19c:17aa]:8080/index.html

Usage of DNS is preferred for resolving all IPv6 host names....
