Link-local address use in URLs

Hello,
Running 2.6.11 kernel.
I can use an IPv6 enabled web browser(such as Mozilla) from another linux
2.6.11 kernel with non link-local addresses with no problems to an http
server application.
When I attempt to use the link-local address
"[fe80::xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx%eth0] the http server does not understand it.

I have seen on the web that the link-local address with a scope does not
work with URLs in general with Linux.

Has anyone else seen this or can anyone confirm this?

Thanks,
Phil Bellino
