[Bug 1505748] Re: twisted.web.client._URI.fromBytes does not handle ipv6 addresses

[Hans Joachim Desserud]

Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and providing a patch.

I've assigned the ubuntu-reviewers team who will hopefully soon take a
look at and review the patch.

Normal procedure is that patches are applied to the current development
version of Ubuntu, and then possibly also for older releases. See
details on the Stable Release Update procedure for more information on
this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates.

Title:
  twisted.web.client._URI.fromBytes does not handle ipv6 addresses

Status in twisted package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Certainly by 13.2.0-1ubuntu1 (trusty), fromBytes blows up when handed
  an ipv6 address, because of an assumption that the only valid use of a
  colon is as part of a port specification.  See also bug #1372767.

  Patch attached which should fix the issue, though it is against
  1:15.2.1-1ubuntu1, and needs a "s/URI/_URI/g" before it will apply to
  the trusty version.
