Parsing URLs with IPv6 host

[aryszka]

I tried to use URLs with IPv6 host for a Browser.application and the navigation didn't work. The log message in the console directed me to this page: https://github.com/elm/core/blob/1.0.0/hints/1.md . When tried the same with IPv4 or a domain name, then it worked.

The URLs that I tried:

• http://[::]:7272/ui/
• http://[::1]:7272/ui/

Is this a bug or just the feature is not supported currently?

Appears to be a bug. Line 167 of url/Url.elm indexes the first : in the host of the URL and, if it detects more than one :, assumes the URL is invalid. Should I write a PR that checks for this IPv6 shape before failing?

i am using alertmanager in a pure ipv6 environment. and got the same exact issue. if i use a domain name instead of ipv6 address, it works.
