+  curl will connect to a server with IPv6 when a host lookup returns an IPv6
+  address and fall back to IPv4 if the connection fails. The --ipv4 and --ipv6
+  options can specify which address to use when both are available. IPv6
+  addresses can also be specified directly in URLs using the syntax:
+
+    http://[2001:1890:1112:1::20]/overview.html
+
+  When this style is used, the -g option must be given to stop curl from
+  interpreting the square brackets as special globbing characters.  Link local
+  and site local addresses including a scope identifier, such as fe80::1234%1,
+  may also be used, but the scope portion must be numeric and the percent
+  character must be URL escaped. The previous example in an SFTP URL might
+  look like:
+
+    sftp://[fe80::1234%251]/
