Root cause

The .partition(':') method incorrectly splits IPv6 addresses, leading to broken session transaction handling and Flask server configuration.

What changed

The EnvironBuilder class now uses urlparse instead of .partition(':') to handle URLs, including IPv6 addresses. The FlaskClient.open method was simplified by removing unnecessary context stack handling.

Why this fixes it

By using urlparse, the new implementation correctly handles both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses without breaking on colons. This resolves issues with session transactions and server name parsing in Flask.run() for IPv6 addresses.

• Closes IPv6 addresses parsed incorrectly because of .partition(":")? #6093 - IPv6 addresses parsed incorrectly because of .partition(":")?

What to check

Reviewers should ensure that the change does not introduce any unintended side effects, such as changes in URL parsing behavior for non-IPv6 URLs. Additionally, edge cases involving complex URL structures should be thoroughly tested.

Suggested test

A test case should be added to test_session_transaction_ipv6 where a request is made with an IPv6 address and the session value is correctly set and retrieved.
