Hi Thomas, I notice that this patch refers to RFC 2732 for the new IPv6
friendly URI syntax. Web searching, I find <
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986> claims it obsoletes RFC 2732. I have no
idea if there are any relevant differences. I've never looked at either of
these RFCs before. Any idea what this is about?

IIRC, it was a misguided attempt on my part to be compatible with some
stupid IE6 file: URL behavior. Please feel free to fix. Thanks.
