+ <p>[httpc] Wrong Host header in IPv6 HTTP requests.
+ When a URI with a IPv6 host is parsed, the brackets that encapsulates
+ the address part is removed. This value is then supplied as the host
+ header. This can cause problems with some servers.
+ A workaround for this is to use headers_as_is and provide the host
+ header with the requst call.
+ To solve this a new option has been added,
+ <seealso marker="httpc#ipv6_host_with_brackets">ipv6_host_with_brackets</seealso>.
+ This option specifies if the host value of the host header shall
+ include the brackets or not. By default, it does not (as before).
