Adding extra brackets around the local ipv6 address when passed to the browser resulting in:
Failed to parse URL from http://[[::1]]:5001/api/v0/

Chromium on Fedora 29

the following error is on Firefox:

Error while ipfs.swarm.peers: SyntaxError: The URI is malformed

Thank you for reporting this.
It seems to be a bug inside of js-ipfs-http-client. I will prepare an upstream fix.

The origin of the problem is in stream-http (library used internally by js-ipfs-http-client), key issues being:

  • merging the meaning of host and hostname BEFORE validating ipv6
  • performing naive check by looking for : to identify ipv6 here

Upstream fix:

PS. Noticed something odd during the URI debug: for some reason "browserified" version of hostname attribute in test environment removes square brackets, but real browser and node do not do that:

browser (FF64) node v10.15.0 "browserified"
newurl-ipv6-2019-01-29--12-34-20 2019-01-29--12-56-54 2019-01-29--12-55-34 ¯_(ツ)_/¯
