I discovered an issue while trying to clone a git repo over an IPv6 link-local address:
[vb@nerenyi ~/code/ocaml-llnet]% LANG=C git clone "http://[fe80::226:c6ff:fe50:efa0%wlan0]:33075/repo"

Cloning into 'repo'... fatal: unable to access 'http://[fe80::226:c6ff:fe50:efa0%wlan0]:33075/repo/': Failed to connect to fe80::226:c6ff :fe50:efa0 port 3307: Connection refused

It tries to connect to port 3307, and not 33075, strangely.
Cheers,
Vincent Bernardoff
