Comment (by dd32):

 One method could be to finally move `WP_HTTP::parse_url()` to
 `wp_parse_url()` and use that instead.

 https://3v4l.org/lWQ4p is a version of that which includes half of a fix
 for an edge-case (If the input path is protocolless and doesn't contain a
 path component, then `WP_HTTP::parse_url()` will report `/` as the path)
