Anyways: If you request TYPO3_HOST_ONLY, shouldn't it only return ::1 for localhost - as far as I read your patch it would return [::1] ... I guess the brackets are just used in URLs - the hostname itself would be ::1 ?!?! Or am I misleaded here?


Hi Bernhard,

I see your point, but in my opinion is [::1] the Host and ::1 would be the corresponding IP therefore [::1] would be the appropriate return value.
In class.t3lib_userauth.php::checkAuthentication() the TYPO3_HOST_ONLY is compared to the HTTP_REFERER Host and contains the brackets as well, since both string values are compared against each other I think the brackets are needed in TYPO3_HOST_ONLY.

As for the regular expressions, this is my very first patch so I might not be aware of the technically best oder sophisticated solution in the sense of TYPO3 Core Development.
Wouldn't you like to provide a corresponding regular expression? I know them, but they are not my area of expertise. :-)

Thank you for your point of view.
