Bug description:FILTER_VALIDATE_URL rejects IPv6 URLs http://[::1]/
Description:
------------
I just came to wonder why the filter extension rejects my IPv6 URLs. For
example this returns `false` even though it's a valid HTTP url:
filter_var("http://[::1]:2000/push/thingy";, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL);
I'm somewhat certain that FILTER_VALIDATE_URL actually used
[`parse_url`](http://php.net/parse_url) behind the scenes to probe for URL
correctness. But parse_url itself works perfectly fine on such addresses:
Array(
[scheme] => http
[host] => [::1]
[port] => 2000
[path] => /push/thingy
So there is some limitation in the filter_var wrapper for _VALIDATE_URL.
---
Note that this is a distinct issue to
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=48762&edit=2 which was about
FILTER_VALIDATE_IP addresses only.
Test script:
---------------
<?php
var_dump(filter_var("http://[::1]/path?qs";, FILTER_VALIDATE_URL));
?>
Expected result:
----------------
string(20) "http://[::1]/path?qs";
Actual result:
--------------
bool(false)
