Comment:

 Even though brackets should be encoded for use in third-party applications
 in theory, we should not blame the user who often may not even be aware of
 this. Often the URL is copied from the location bar or other source where
 they have not encoded this, and especially due to PHP's use of brackets to
 pass arrays. I have attached a patch which ''urlencode()''s brackets when
 cleaning URLs.
