As part of the new Swift
URL
implementation, we unifiedURL.host
to behave likeURLComponents.host
, which will return an IP literal with the square brackets included. While RFC 3986 does say thathost
includes these square brackets, this change caused bincompat issues for clients who take IPv6 addresses fromURL.host
and pass them directly to APIs likeinet_pton(3)
.Because
URL.host
has long behaved by stripping the brackets, and no longer stripping them can cause immediate client breakage that requires workaround, this PR restores the previous behavior. Thank you to all who worked around it for the time being.Resolves #957
