We should also have test for this bracketed ports. Also, do you have any examples for this?
Uh oh!

A host that is bracketed with ports was already tested here so this works as an example:
cargo/src/cargo/sources/git/known_hosts.rs
Line 774 in b9f0d83
I also noticed another bug in the
know_hostsparsing that was not mentioned in the original issue:Say we have the following
know_hostsfile:e:2222will successfully match because[example.com]:2222is treated as a glob. In glob matching syntax,[]matches if any single character within the brackets matches.Take a look at this for reference:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tools/glob?comments=true&glob=%5Bexample.net%5D%3A2222&matches=false&tests=e%3A2222
I have also added a test that validates against this behaviour here
Here is the block of code responsible:
cargo/src/cargo/sources/git/known_hosts.rs
Lines 612 to 623 in b9f0d83
Just for my future reference, The OpenBSD manual says this about this format:
I can squash and rearrange the commits into 2 atomic commits if you wish :)
