-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey all :) there were two problems preventing the use of numeric ipv6 literals: 1. splitting the authority in hostname and port the attached patch fixes the handling of numeric ipv6 addresses entered into the url bar. a_Url_hostname got the colons delimiting the 8 groups of hexadecimal digits of an ipv6 address confused with a port number. 2. joining hostname and port for the Host: header a_Http_make_query_str used to build the Host: header by concatenating the url->hostname with the port number in case it's not the default port. Unfortunately this breaks with numeric ipv6 addresses since an ipv6 literal has to be enclosed with square brackets when used in urls and Host: header fields (according to my experiments and my interpretation of rfc 2616 section 14.23 ("Host header") and 3.2.2 ("http URL")). I would therefore suggest to use the original authority string obtained from the url. Patch is attached.
