Comment:

 I'm heavily leaning towards a schemeless URL is not a valid URL in this
 context. I'm also tempted to leave the error as 'A valid URL was not
 provided.', as that's a valid error for the context.

 A schemeless/protocol-less URL is only valid when used in the context of
 another URL, and there is no valid context when being passed directly to
 the HTTP API.

 We do handle a schemeless URL in a redirect however.
