According to RFC 3986:
A host identified by an Internet Protocol literal address, version 6
[RFC3513] or later, is distinguished by enclosing the IP literal

square bracket characters are allowed in the URI syntax.
So,
http://[192.168.0.1]/ is technically valid
Um, how so? 192.168.0.1 is an IPv4 address - the above quoted part says
enclosing in square brackets is allowed for IPv6 and later addresses only.
