[8u-dev] Request for approval: JDK-6933879: URISyntaxException when non-alphanumeric characters are present in scope_id

[Konstantin Shefov]

Hi Sean,

I have tried to use different symbols in networking interface name in 
Linux. I have added a comment to 
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8071458

I am able to use symbols: "-", "+", "=", "#", "@".
I was UNABLE to use: "?", "~", "$", "*", "!", "[", "(", "&", "^", "|", 
"/", ":" and "\".

My network interface name in Linux is now "eth0.1_-+=#@55" (used 
"ifconfig" command).
