           Summary: window.location.hostname should remove brackets of
                    IPv6 host
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Macintosh Intel
               URL: http://[2001:240:629::6]/foo.html
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.6
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML DOM
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: naruse at airemix.jp


For IPv6 address, URI will be like http://[2001:240:629::6]/foo.html.
On IE and Firefox, when open the URI, window.location.hostname will be "2001:240:629::6".
But Safari 5.0.3 (6533.19.4) and Chrome 10.0.612.3 returns "[2001:240:629::6]".

Mozilla explicitly says remove brackets from hostname.

I think, it is because hostname means DNS name.

HTML5 doesn't say about this yet.
