Description

Based on mailing list discussions, there are issues with the following classes need to be addressed:

 

• org.apache.hc.core5.net.Host.create(String) +
  org.apache.hc.core5.net.URIAuthority.create(String) +
  org.apache.hc.core5.http.HttpHost.create(String): Will fail on IPv6 addresses when the port is extacted. One has to
  probe for brackets: []. Note that those brackets likely need to be dropped when a socket
  is obtained, but readded when a string compound host:port is build.
• org.apache.hc.core5.net.InetAddressUtils: Parsing may fail when an IPv6 scope id might be provided.
