[Bug 55362] Apache httpd sends "400 Bad Request" to client due to IPvFuture (RFC 3986) format IP address Hostname Host Header

--- Comment #1 from Stefan Fritsch <sf [at] sfritsch> ---
AFAICS, RFC 3986 does not define v1 of the IPvFuture format. Instead it says
If a URI
containing an IP-literal that starts with "v" (case-insensitive),
indicating that the version flag is present, is dereferenced by an
application that does not know the meaning of that version flag, then
the application should return an appropriate error for "address
mechanism not supported"."
Returning a 400 seems to fullfill this requirement. Unless we can make sure
that all code that comes in contact with such addresses can handle the
different format, I don't think we should change this behavior.
Also, v1 seems to be only specified by draft-fenner-literal-zone-02 which has
not become an RFC.
