This affects the Request-URI and the value of the Host header. RFC 2616
doesn't directly address the formatting of IPv6 addresses, but it
delegates some productions to RFC 2396 "Uniform Resource Identifiers
(URI): Generic Syntax," which is obsoleted by RFC 3986, which requires
square brackets for IPv6 addresses in both places.
I tested this with
HTTPSProxy 127.0.0.1:8000
Bridge <IPv6 bridge>
UseBridges 1
and an Ncat HTTP proxy:
ncat --proxy-type http -l 8000 -vvv
