IPv6 addresses rejected

[kav2k]

Current verification script does not understand IPv6 literal URL notation.

Example: http://[2a01:4f8:160:7ffc::5]/ is rejected as non-address.

See RFC 2732

BTW it would reject IPv4 addresses as well.

As I investigate on the issue, the more and more elaborate functionality seems to be required. I wonder if there is an open-source library I could use without having to implement it all by myself with a complex perplexion of http://php.net/filter extension, http://php.net/parse_url calls and further http://php.net/PCRE matching and data extraction.

I forked ob-ivan/PhpUrlScanner as it seems to provide quite a bit of functionality I need. However it calls for a lot of refinement, especially on what concerns namespacing and other PSR considerations before it can be made use of.

Opened nicodmf/PhpUrlScanner#1
I hope to make use of its URL class.
