Sure, underscores are forbidden in DNS hostnames. That doesn't mean such
hostnames aren't commonly in use at sites with clueless sysadmins, though. Also,
there has not traditionally been any such rule as far as I know for Windows
machine names, so there is a lot of historical ballast here that weighs in at
many sites. Ever heard the phrase "be liberal in what you accept, strict in what
you generate"?

It's trivial to fix this bug. One can either make underscore fully equivalent to
letters, or use whatever more finesse one feels necessary. Will attach a trivial
patch that does the straightforward thing, just treat underscore like a
letter... I couldn't be bothered with tracing the workings of urlobj.cxx any
closer and do something more refined.
