IPv6 addresses are supposed to be bracketed when used within an URI.
Otherwise a parser wouldn't be able to tell if an optional port was
given or not. Compare http://2620:0:2d0:200::8/ vs
http://[2620:0:2d0:200::8]/ vs http://2620:0:2d0:200::8:80/ vs
http://[2620:0:2d0:200::8]:80/. See RFC 2732.

this is
not the real fix, but helps until someone figures out why dns
query on something that is not a name but wrongly formatted ipv6 address
is done in the first place.
What do you mean with "wrongly formatted"?
