[SOLVED] CUPS web interface redirects to nowhere

Well, I don't really know, when all this happened, because I dont't use a lot my print server's web interface.

It is not a major problem I think, but it is a bit disturbing and I really don't know, what this is.

At http://myipaddress:631 I see the web administration page, but according to the /etc/cups/cupsd.conf file, the /admin/conf/ section of cups is password protected.
It was usual, but lately I've noticed, that instead of the usual https://myipaddress:631/printers/myprintername it redicrects me towards some gibberish:

https://[v1.::fff/myipaddress:631/printers/myprintername

in a couple of seconds it results in displaying a "about:blank" page.

Have a look here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/14247366/cups.png

The box has an ipv4 only adress, I've configured CUPS via the web interface, I use avahi browsing, and everything else works.

Does anyone know, what this could be?

This IPv4/v6 mix should be fixed with cups 1.7.1-4.

Checking now...

Thank you. Upgrading (and readjusting my cupsd.conf) solved it.
