Comment:

 From [http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt 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.
