IPv6 address URL parsing fails

[bkoenig]

If you use jQuery Mobile with an IPv6 address in the URL, e.g.

http://[3fff:cafe:babe::]:443/foo

then it won't work at all because URL parsing fails. I fixed the hostname part of the urlParseRE to make it work.

Currently it reads
([^:\/#\?]+)
At first disallow [ and ] in hostnames:
([^\[\]:\/#\?]+)
Then add the special IPv6 case as an alternative:
([^\[\]:\/#\?]+|[[0-9a-fA-F:]+])

Please review.

Thank you and best regards
Björn

Based on my reading here: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt I made alterations to prevent matching on the reserved characters described in section 3.2.2 for the host portion.

/([^:\/#\?\]\[]+|\[[^\/\]@#\?]+\])/

Any review here is appreciated, and if you feel particularly energetic we'd love some additions to the test suite if you spot issues :D
