Host() with a port fails to match when the host is supplied in the HTTP Host: header about mux HOT 4 CLOSED

An other problem with the Host() function is that it can't handle ipv6 addresses well.
For the "http://[::1]:8080/foo" url, and Host("{host:.+}") regexp, mux.Vars returns map[string]string{"file":"foo", "host":"["}

What's the status of this issue? Experimentation makes me believe that currently, one has to call Host() without a port, and that will work even if the Host header includes a port. Is that correct?

Also, in response to @soul9, getHost() should probably use net.SplitHostPort instead of just splitting on a colon, but that's a different issue.

Honestly I haven't looked in to it since Oct 2012 most likely :)
