See [1].  The URL is terminated at "]" but shouldn't end there.

Comment 1

[:glob ✱]

i'm not so sure; "]" should be encoded as it isn't valid outside of the authority part of a URI, which means the sample URL is invalid.

Comment 2

[Justin Lebar (not reading bugmail)]

Indeed, RFC 3986 says:

   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.

But then shouldn't bugzilla end the URI when it sees "["?

Filed bug 672139 on graphserver's emitting these malformed URIs.
