The following code segment in _parse_scp_string fails when the host is an
IPv6 address:
@parts = split(/:/,$temp);
if (@parts) {
if (@parts > 1) {
$host = join('',@parts[0,1..scalar(@parts)-2]);
$dest = $parts[-1];
} else {
$host = $parts[0];
}
}
An IPv6 host address such as:
fd72:7f46:c411:0:290:faff:fe3d:f26a
Becomes
fd727f46c4110290fafffe3df26a
After the above code is executed, and the host connection times out when
that address is used subsequently in the code.
I did a quick fix this way:
@parts = split(/:/,$temp);
if (@parts) {
if (@parts > 1) {
| $host = join(':',@parts[0,1..scalar(@parts)-2]);
$dest = $parts[-1];
} else {
$host = $parts[0];
}
}
