    Description

      Without binding to a specific interface it seems it's impossible to access link-local IPv6 addresses..

      in short.. this URL http://[fe80::1]:8080/ cannot be accessed using QNAM, because it doesn't set - or allows to set - the local interface to send it from

      I've seen notations where the IPv6 address is suffixed with the device name (or the scopeId) : http://[fe80::1%eth0]:8080/

      But this doesn't fly with QUrl..
      (nor is this likely to be understood by QNAM a.t.m.)
