ipv6 and TidHTTP issue on Android & iOS

Question

we are trying to connect to an ipv6 local server address. This is the code snippet

_st := IdHTTP1.Get('http://[fe80::a6ee:57ff:fe5c:7de6]:8000/reparti');

The issue is the following:

• If we compile for Windows -> It works and we get the json response

• if we compile for either Android or iOS -> we get

  "socket error #22 invalid argument"

  and no response and the server do not receive any request

What are we missing?

Thank you for the support

Answer 1

The IP address you are attempting to connect to is incomplete. It is missing the mandatory scope ID.
