Bug#714961: LWP::UserAgent: Bad http proxy specification 'http://[IPv6]...'

[Ivan Shmakov]

Package: libwww-perl
Version: 6.04-1
Tags: ipv6, patch

	The current version of LWP::UserAgent apparently dislikes IPv6
	addresses given for proxies.  Consider, e. g.:

$ http_proxy=http://\[2001:db8::1\]:3128/ perl -e '
      use strict;
      use warnings;
      require LWP::UserAgent;

      my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new ();
      $ua->env_proxy ();

      my $r = $ua->get ("http://www.example.org/");
      warn ($r->status_line ());
      die () unless ($r->is_success ());' 
Bad http proxy specification 'http://[2001:db8::1]:3128/' at -e line 1
$ 

	The patch hereby suggested turns it into:

200 OK at -e line 1.

	(provided that an IPv6 address of an active HTTP proxy is
	given.)

	TIA.
