Subject: [ruby-core:23486] [Bug #1466] URI#parse fails on some working urls

Issue #1466 has been updated by Daniel Cavanagh.


[ ] are at least a problem. i ran into this a little while ago

according to http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2732.txt, [ ] are used to define
an ipv6 address and are thus reserved. and as the rfc shows, they where
originally part of the 'unwise' set of characters that are supposed to be
always encoded so as to not cause problems (with gateways and other broken
things)

try encoding [ ] (%5B and %5D) to see if it fixes the problem. ( ) might be
too, but that's just a guess. i'm too lazy to recheck :)
