Thats, MUST be enclosed within []... without those [ ], how would you
resolve
http://21DA:00D3::00FF:FE28:8080
is that...
http://[21DA:00D3:0000:0000:0000:00FF:FE28:8080]
or
http://[21DA:00D3:0000:0000:0000:0000:00FF:FE28]:8080
? Both of those are valid IPv6 addresses
if anything, I'd put the blame on this squarely on the committee that
decided to use : as the IPv6 seperator when it was already in wide use
as the URL port separator.
