Using jquery validate url with IPV6 Addresses

Using jquery validate url with IPV6 Addresses

I have a validate rule like this:

validateAddress: {             required: true,             url: true,        
     messages: {                 required: Global.ResourcesRequired,         
        url: "My Error Message"             }         }

It works fine with IPv4 addresses in the URL, like this:

http://10.10.10.10.

However if I use an IPv6 address it will say it is not valid. Something like this:

http://[2007:dead:c01d:beef:0:5efe:10.8.5.50]/mywebsite. This works if I put it 







in a browser. 

Anyone know if validate supports IPv6 URLs? I am using version 1.9.

Thanks!
