I didn't see details, but CUPS 1.1 series don't support fully IPv6 yet.
httpConnectEncrypt() in http.c of cups 1.1
-----------------------------------
/*
* Verify that it is an IPv4 address (IPv6 support will come in CUPS 1.2...)
*/
if (hostaddr->h_addrtype != AF_INET || hostaddr->h_length != 4)
return (NULL);
-----------------------------------
same function of cups 1.2, upcoming version(but isn't released
officially yet)
-----------------------------------
/*
* Verify that it is an IPv4, IPv6, or domain address...
*/
if ((hostaddr->h_addrtype != AF_INET || hostaddr->h_length != 4)
#ifdef AF_INET6
&& (hostaddr->h_addrtype != AF_INET6 || hostaddr->h_length != 16)
#endif /* AF_INET6 */
#ifdef AF_LOCAL
&& (hostaddr->h_addrtype != AF_LOCAL)
#endif /* AF_LOCAL */
)
return (NULL);
-----------------------------------
So I think this bug will be resolved when upstream release 1.2 officially.
Thanks,
