Methyl vinyl ether, $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{C}=\mathrm{CH}-\mathrm{OCH}_3$, reacts with $\mathrm{Br}_2

Question

Methyl vinyl ether, $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{C}=\mathrm{CH}-\mathrm{OCH}_3$, reacts with $\mathrm{Br}_2 / \mathrm{CH}_3 \mathrm{OH}$. If methanol is reacting as water would, and if this reaction follows a typical mechanism of electrophilic addition, what would be the expected product?
