I have implemented Ipv6 on my Network (my ISP supports Tunnel 6rd). This works fine and I can pass the tests from http://test-ipv6.com/ (10/10) and http://ipv6-test.com/ (19/20 - only reverse lookup fails).
However I can't browse the router's web ui using the Ipv6 address of the router in the address bar (it gives an error 'Not found'). I know I have to use brackets around the ipv6 address, so it looks like this:
http://[2a00:fd00:xxxx:yyyyy::1]/
This would be nice especially for testing Ipv6 functionality.
I have added the router's Ipv6 address and name in the 'hosts.add' file of '/jfffs/configs'. I can ping the router with both name, ipv4 and ipv6 address, and nslookup Works too.
All I want is to browse the router with ipv6 address.
Is that possible (if not, it would be a feature request) ?
 
You want the link-local ipv6 addr to access things perhaps...

should be an fe80:: as a pre-fix..

httpd doesn't bind to the router's IPv6 address. There's nothing immediately obvious in the source code to suggest it supports IPv6.

Well, that's a shame, it should be possible. I can browse my nas (a WD MyCloudEX2) with dns name, ipv4 address and ipv6 address! But I guess, I will have to use that for testing then.
