Description:
When I try to access the web interface remotely, I get "Bad Request" error. In previous versions, cups-avahi-5-services.patch enabled some conditionals for avahi, but these changes were not merged into cups, and this causes the problem. Ubuntu solves it by applying a patch[1].

Additional info:
* package version(s)
- cups 1.6.1-1
- avahi 0.6.31-3

Steps to reproduce:
1. Install avahi and nss-mdns, and configure hostname resolution.
2. Start avahi-daemon and then cupsd.
3. Enable remote access on the web interface.
4. Try to visit the web interface as https://<yourhostname>.local:631/

Please apply the patch[1] to fix this bug.

I can access my server well with https://192.168.1.90:631

No problems here. No idea what https access should have to do with dnssd printer browsing.

The problem is that if I access the web admin interface by IP address, and I try to add or edit a printer, it redirects me:

"Upgrade Required

You must access this page using the URL https://<yourhostname>.local:631/admin/.&quot;

And without the patch, I get:

"Bad Request"

Subscribed to the bug.

But again, I have no problem accessing the remote server admin pages from my clients.

Patch applied. Please test 1.6.1-2 in extra.
