Basic URL parser I have assumes host part of the URL is either IPv4 address or 
a domain name. I made the changes to support textual IPv6 with zone ids.
Check out section 11 of 
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-ipv6-scoping-arch-02#section-11.  In few 
words, you should also specify the network interface.
e.g. to connect to non-routable address, for example 127.0.0.1, you should use 
something like [::1%lo0] .

Briefly tested on OSX, have no idea how it works on Linux/Cygwyn
