Sorry, it seems I misunderstood the issue at hand.

It looks like this is still a problem with glib/gio and libsoup from git
master:

tpm at zingle:~/gst/glib-git/libsoup/examples$ ./get
'http://[fe80::21e:c2ff:fec0:edf0%lo]:8080/file.mp3'
IPv6: forbidden character: %
(lt-get:11007): GLib-GIO-WARNING **: Invalid URI
'http://[fe80::21e:c2ff:fec0:edf0%lo]:8080/'

There's some API to get/set a numerical scope_id in

   https://developer.gnome.org/gio/stable/GInetSocketAddress.html

but I don't see a way for GInetAddress to pick up on this and make it
available.

There's some code to test this exact thing, but it uses
g_network_address_new().

So maybe libsoup or some code somewhere is using the wrong API, or GInetAddr
should preserve the identifier (never mind parse the URI correctly)?

Moving to libsoup for the time being.
