Are square brackets permitted in URLs?
Are square brackets in URLs allowed?
I noticed that Apache commons HttpClient (3.0.1) throws an IOException, wget and Firefox however accept square brackets.
URL example:
http://example.com/path/to/file[3].html
My HTTP client encounters such URLs but I'm not sure whether to patch the code or to throw an exception (as it actually should be).
RFC 3986 states
A host identified by an Internet Protocol literal address, version 6 [RFC3513] or later, is distinguished by enclosing the IP literal within square brackets ("[" and "]"). This is the only place where square bracket characters are allowed in the URI syntax.
So you should not be seeing such URI's in the wild in theory, as they should arrive encoded.
I know this question is a bit old, but I just wanted to note that PHP uses brackets to pass arrays in a URL.
http://www.example.com/foo.php?bar[]=1&bar[]=2&bar[]=3
In this case $_GET['bar'] will contain array(1, 2, 3) .
Any browser or web-enabled software that accepts URLs and is not throwing an exception when special characters are introduced is almost guaranteed to be encoding the special characters behind the scenes. Curly brackets, square brackets, spaces, etc all have special encoded ways of representing them so as not to produce conflicts. As per the previous answers, the safest way to deal with these is to URL-encode them before handing them off to something that will try to resolve the URL.
