proxy capplet is not IPv6 aware
Last modified: 2013-02-01 21:28:27 UTC
it is not possible to enter ipv6 address as a proxy host, because get_hostname_from_uri is trying to extract scheme and port while user is typing.
I'm guessing this is broken with the current panel too, right? I'm thinking user:password@${ipv6address} has to be parsed a little more carefully.
This sounds like it's a known issue that needs to be fixed. Hence I'm setting to new.
This doesn't apply to the current panel, which doesn't try to parse the hostname
