I didn't see this mentioned in the Harmattan Bugzilla or TMO w/minimal searching, but has anyone noticed that port numbers in URLs don't work with the stock browser on the N9/N950?

E.g. http://some.domain.com:666/whatever.html

I have no problems with port numbers on my N9 running PR1.3. In fact, just yesterday I was using the stock browser to check some sites that required different ports, and no issues whatsoever.

Ok, I've narrowed it down a bit more to the following...

Typing

some.host.com:9999/ leads to a... Couldn't open page some.host.com://0.0.35.231/ error.

but if you prepend http:// or https:// to the front of the URL, things work fine.

and if you aren't adding a port at the end of the hostname, the browser is perfectly happy without the http:// or https:// qualifier, as expected.

So, I'd still call the bare 'hostname:port' behavior a bug.

I had a similar issue when trying to type IPv6 addresses: when typing [2001:db8::ff00:42:8329] in my browser it tried to do a search for that, it only worked when prepending http:// to the beginning

Kind of annoying, really.
