Details:

The following code snippet:

    url = [[[NSURL alloc] initWithString:@"http://[2001:4860:0:2001::68]/";]
autorelease];
    NSLog(@"url host=\"%@\", absolute string=\"%@\"", [url host], [url
absoluteString]);
    url = [[[NSURL alloc] initWithScheme:@"http" host:@"2001:4860:0:2001::68"
path:@"/"] autorelease];
    NSLog(@"url host=\"%@\", absolute string=\"%@\"", [url host], [url
absoluteString]);
    url = [[[NSURL alloc] initWithScheme:@"http"
host:@"[2001:4860:0:2001::68]" path:@"/"] autorelease];
    NSLog(@"url host=\"%@\", absolute string=\"%@\"", [url host], [url
absoluteString]);

produces:

2008-12-03 10:58:54.189 NSURLBug[19005] <NSException: 80b64f8>
NAME:NSGenericException REASON:illegal character in port part

It seems there's no RFC2732 support in NSURL.
