Description
Description
The following code:
<?php
$u = new Uri\Rfc3986\Uri("http://[::0:0A]/");
var_dump($u->getRawHost());
var_dump($u->getHost());
var_dump($u->toRawString());
var_dump($u->toString());
Resulted in this output:
string(8) "[::0:0A]"
string(8) "[::0:0a]"
string(49) "http://[0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:000a]/"
string(49) "http://[0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:000a]/"
But I expected this output instead:
string(8) "[::0:0A]"
string(8) "[0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:000a]"
string(49) "http://[::0:0A]/"
string(49) "http://[0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:000a]/"
Alternatively I might expect this output:
string(8) "[::0:0A]"
string(8) "[::a]"
string(49) "http://[::0:0A]/"
string(49) "http://[::a]/"

Research direction
Start in ext/uri and reproduce the reported Uri Rfc3986 IPv6 example, comparing getRawHost(), getHost(), toRawString(), and toString(). Check the RFC 3986 handling and existing tests for IPv6 normalization; done means the chosen normalization behavior is consistent across these methods and covered by regression tests.
