See makeworld's comments. It looks like "no SNI" is the right answerfor IP addresses.

No. The first one is not a legal URL.

Thanks, I stand corrected. Indeed, Agunua points out that the first URLis invalid, but connects to the second one.

The clients I tested which didn't accept the second URL are:- Lagrange- gmni- bombadillo- Mozz web proxy - https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/%5B2a02:7b40:592f:a446::1%5D:1965/- gemini://celehner.com/proxy/ - https://celehner.com/gemini://[2a02:7b40:592f:a446::1]:1965/- https://gemini.susa.net:1993/proxy.html

However, most clients accept the host without the scheme and behavior issometimes inconsistent. For instance, in Amfora:- "89.47.164.70" works- "[2a02:7b40:592f:a446::1]" works if it is supplied from the command line, but not from within the program.- "2a02:7b40:592f:a446::1" - same as the above

Agunua and Kristall adhere to the RFC, so they connect to the first two,but not the third.
