Aha. Yeps, that is obviously not working... Try the attached patch, it seems
to make it working for me. Just make sure that the IPv6 numerical address is
specified RFC2732-style, which means within brackets. As in:

  curl -x "[::1]:80" localhost

Do let me know how it works if you decide to try it!

A quick work-around for this existing user would of course be to simply add
"ip6-hostname 2001:470:1f01:301::1" to /etc/hosts and then use

  curl -x ip6-hostname localhost
