Greetings,

When trying to send a request to an IPv6 link local address such as

http://[fe80::1234%2]:8080/foo

the changes that came from #1937 go a long ways toward making things work. However, when the address is passed to the resolver it still contains the square brackets. These square brackets are specific to URL-encoded [1] addresses and do not constitute a valid IPv6 address representation on their own AFAICT. So when [fe80::1234%2] gets passed to the getaddrinfo resolver on some platforms it's not recognized as an IPV6 address with a scope and an attempt at DNS resolution results.

This patch moves the stripping of the square brackets a bit earlier in the call chain so that both try_parse and resolve see an IPv6 address with URL-specific encoding removed.

Minimum Reproducible Example

Running the following on illumos results in a failed DNS lookup, substituting in appropriate values for the address and interface index. After applying this patch, the communication works as expected.

use tokio;
use hyper;
use std::str::FromStr;

type Result<T> = std::result::Result<T, Box<dyn std::error::Error + Send + Sync>>;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<()> {

    let client = hyper::Client::new();
    let uri = hyper::Uri::from_str("http://[fe80::1234%2]:914/foo").unwrap();
    let resp = client.get(uri).await?;
    println!("response: {:#?}", resp);

    Ok(())
}
