Nit: “::1” isn’t ambiguous, because if we were to treat :1 like a port number, “:” is all we would have left. “::1:8080” is ambiguous, so you would need* to type “::1:8080:8080” to reach “::1:8080” at port 8080, that was the default port, and this patch would just die on “::1:f”. On the other hand, consistency with ftp(1) might be of some value, and it’s not like the patch makes any IPv6 addresses impossible to reach. * or “[::1:8080]”
