Hi William,
 
Thanks a lot for your response.
 
Mozilla allows me to specify the %zone_id (scope_id) in the HTTP request but as mentioned by you, it updates in "Host:" header field in HTTP request.
 
Regards,
Sathya

Ok; now I have a better sense.  For Mozilla, please do install the
http-headers add-in, so you can see what is being transmitted.

From RFC4007 section 11.2, referring to %zone_id;

  It cannot be assumed that indices are common across all nodes in a
  zone (see Section 6).  Hence, the format MUST be used only within a
  node and MUST NOT be sent on the wire unless every node that
  interprets the format agrees on the semantics.

I read this to say that zone_id's should not be propogated in httpd
headers.  There is another question of whether the %zone_id should be
permitted in proxy machine names, listen directives, etc.

Can you spell out for us if Mozilla and IE refuse to let you specify
the %zone_id in the request, and if so, do they try to pass it on in
the Host; header (look using common sniffing tools such as the http
headers add-in)?
