Comment:

 Interesting that this exists already. I was about to open a pretty similar
 ticket.

 In my opinion, the problem is not specifically that the URL might be
 '''invalid'''. It could be a valid URL, given in an unexpected format
 (e.g., protocol-less, or even relative).

 I just created a small patch that fixes that, and also confirms that the
 fix is working by new tests.
