No, and I don't think it should:

RFC2723: "SRL: A Language for Describing Traffic Flows and Specifying Actions
for Flow Groups"

RFC2732 however: "Format for Literal IPv6 Addresses in URL's"

I must admit I can't see the error. Cam you please enlighten me?

The RFC clearly states that the brackets are reserved and used for IPv6
addresses only. AFAICT, supporting IPv4 addresses that way wouldn't be to
follow RFC2732.

Or am I wrong?
