ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.16299.192]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Using an IPv6 address URL in JNLP file in codebase attribute, application is not starting, java launcher hangs (32 bit) or terminates (64 bit).

If I change the codebase value to an hostname or IP v4 address manually, same file is starting.

Not working:

<jnlp spec="6.0+" codebase="http://[fe80::xxxxxxxx]/" ....

Same with official addresses, not only a link local address problem.

Same file with IPv6 address used with Java 8U151 is working.



REGRESSION. Last worked in version 8u151
