Comment (by cklosows):

 I believe the goal here was to strip `//` from the path of URLs down to a
 single `/` however, it's also affecting any query string parameters, as
 seen in this example from the EDD Software Licensing parameters sent:


 {{{
 /app/public/wp-includes/class-http.php:368:string
 'https://www.example.com?edd_action=activate_license&license=<redacted>&item_name=<redacted>&url=http:/one.submulti.dev'
 (length=151)
 }}}

 The Domain requesting the activation is `http://one.submulti.dev`, but the
 regex is stripping the additional slash here.
