Glynn> According to RFC 3986:
Glynn> A host identified by an Internet Protocol literal address,
Glynn> version 6 [RFC3513] or later, is distinguished by enclosing
Glynn> the IP literal within square brackets ("[" and "]").
This is
Glynn> the only place where square bracket characters are allowed in
Glynn> the URI syntax.
Glynn> So,
http://[192.168.0.1]/ is technically valid (and works in
Glynn> Firefox), but I've never seen the square brackets actually used.
Thanks for pointing out that situation. In that case, the [...] should only
be allowed in the host portion of the URL, not in/after the path section.
