Explanation: Strips the square brackets from IP literal hosts when calling
URL.host
. This restores previous behavior and prevents bincompat issues for clients who take IPv6 addresses fromURL.host
and pass them directly to APIs likeinet_pton(3)
.Scope: Only impacts
URL.host
andURL.host()
when the host is an IP literal.Original PR: #1008
Risk: Low - Small change to restore previous behavior.
Testing: Added unit test, swift-ci, stable in
main
