From RFC 3986:
A host identified by an Internet Protocol literal address, version 6
[RFC3513] or later, is distinguished by enclosing the IP literal
within square brackets ("[" and "]"). This is the only place where
square bracket characters are allowed in the URI syntax.
In other words, you shouldn't be having square brackets in a URL. And if you do, they should be urlencoded. I just tested an supplying the RSS Widget with urlencoded brackets works fine.
Feel free to reopen if I've missed something.
Note: See
TracTickets for help on using
tickets.
clean_url() removes the brackets but a patch for that would need a lot of testing.
