Subject: [ruby-core:32090] [Ruby 1.8-Bug#3788] URI cannot parse IPv6 addresses propertly

Issue #3788 has been updated by Marcus R��ckert.


  require 'uri'
  require 'net/http'
  url = URI.parse( 'http://[::1]:8080/test/Test' )
  Net::HTTP.get( url )

I think something like that should work then, but it doesnt. it gives:

  /usr/lib64/ruby/1.9.1/net/http.rb:644:in `initialize': getaddrinfo: Name or service not known (SocketError)
  /usr/lib64/ruby/1.8/net/http.rb:560:in `initialize': getaddrinfo: Name or service not known (SocketError)

Or do we expect users to manually mangle the hostname after the the uri lib parsed it?
