Hi,

I am a new user for IPV6 in Mono in Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10.
Currently I am facing an issue while using IPV6 Link Local and site local
addresses (literal strings) in MonoV2.2 to send the http request from SUSE
Linux to another IPV6 server to retrieve the data.
The following exception is occuring:

Message: Connect Failure
Stacktrace:
  at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.EndGetResponse (IAsyncResult asyncResult)
[0x00000]
  at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse () [0x00000]
  at MFPSearch.frmMain.GetDeviceCapabilityByHttp (System.String proxy,
System.String url, Int32 timeout, System.String userAgent) [0x00000]

URL used: [fe80::xxx:xxx:xxxx:xxxx%2]

I have enabled the IPV6 settings for the Mono by changing the Machine.config
file by setting "IPV6Enable" parameter as "True" (for both Mono 1.0 and 2.0).

Please let me know if there is some issue in Mono?
Or there are any settings required to changed.


Note: To test the IPV6 settings for the SUSE I created a Java sample to send
the HTTP request using the IPV6 addresses. This code is working fine without
any issue.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a Http request URL using the IPV6 Literal string
2.Send the Http request to the IPV6 enabled server

Actual Results:  
Connect Failure error is shown due to the WebException

Expected Results:  
The response should have been obtained from the server of the Mono had sent the
request correctly to the desired server address.

Message: Connect Failure
Stacktrace:
  at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.EndGetResponse (IAsyncResult asyncResult)
[0x00000]
  at System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse () [0x00000]
  at MFPSearch.frmMain.GetDeviceCapabilityByHttp (System.String proxy,
System.String url, Int32 timeout, System.String userAgent) [0x00000]
