Description:
------------
With an IPv6 address, HTTP_HOST should be for example [::1]:8080 and not  
::1:8080

For example IPv6 URI:
http://[::1]:8080/
http://user:password[::1]:8081/
http://[::1]:80/dir/file
http://[::1]:8000/dir/file?q=query






Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php echo $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]; ?>

Expected result:
----------------
[::1]:8080

Actual result:
--------------
::1:8080

The bug is "the lack of SQUARE BRACKETS" for the IPv6 address (in 
HTTP_HOST).
A valid IPv6 address is (for example): http://[2001:4978:1:110:0:ac:ce55:1b1e]:80/
And HTTP_HOST should be: [2001:4978:1:110:0:ac:ce55:1b1e]:80
And not: 2001:4978:1:110:0:ac:ce55:1b1e:80

Variables like HTTP_HOST come directly from Apache.
