It seems that Thunar does not properly handle URLs to remote resources that use an IPv6 address for the host.

When I try to enter an FTP address like ftp://[2001:db8::1234]/ for the location, I get an error saying, 'Error resolving "[2001": Name or service not known.'

Similarly, when I enter an SMB address with a username like smb://example@[2001:db8::1234]/ I get an authentication prompt saying, 'Enter password for "[2001".'

Both of these suggest that the URLs are not being parsed correctly.

I have reported this issue upstream because I am fairly confident that this is not distribution-specific.
