Comment (by johnbillion):

 In [changeset:"34674"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="34674"
 Avoid stripping square brackets from URLs, and instead correctly encode
 them.

 Square brackets must be encoded in the path, path parameters, query
 parameters, and fragment, but must not be encoded in anything up to the
 domain and port.

 Adds a bunch of tests, including square brackets in query parameters, IPv6
 URLs, and several other permutations.

 See #16859
