Note: CapTP URL code needs to be prepared for IPv6

Sample broken URL generated:

<captp://*dif7qgacp5at4ivzp4fn3ucghiaxdqn4-pQ5utlP+s9Ju2xs2qbjOVA@public.gmane.org:50903,fe80:0:0:0:223:6cff:fe81:d83e%6:50903/7dp7tu4orrtyb4yeeylz6ihmq73dbnqp 
 >

(In case you're wondering, if there were connectivity you would find  
that it dereferences to "x".)

The exception:

java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string:  
"0:0:0:223:6cff:fe81:d83e%6:50746"

The fix:

Per RFC 3986, the IPv6 address should be enclosed in square brackets  
(so as to distinguish the internal colons from the port number).
