Bug #72811 [Com]: parse_url fails with IPv6 host

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=72811&edit=1 ID: 72811 Comment by: vhu at iki dot fi Reported by: me at kelunik dot com Summary: parse_url fails with IPv6 host Status: Open Type: Bug Package: URL related Operating System: * PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Key point here is the parsing without scheme; everything works already exactly as expected if scheme is specified. This got me thinking. How should this be parsed if there is no port number and should there a difference between IPv4 and IPv6? Especially consider how does this compares to how browsers parse the URLs? e.g. <a href="[2001::1]/asdf"> vs <a href="http://[2001::1]/asdf"> I'm almost tempted to say that the way IPv4 URL is parsed is incorrect ;) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2016-08-11 11:47:37] me at kelunik dot com Description: ------------ PHP fails to parse the host part if an IPv6 address is used in combination with a port.
