Thomas Jollans <t...@tjol.eu> added the comment:
RFC 2396 explicitly excludes the use of [ and ] in URLs. RFC 2732 <https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2732.txt> defines the syntax for IPv6 URLs, and allows [ and ] ONLY in the host part. So I'd say that the behaviour is arguably correct (if somewhat unfortunate) ---------- nosy: +tjollans _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33342> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
