Hello Eugeny,

RFC 3986 says it's a bug. Page 20:

   If the URI scheme defines a default for host, then that default
   applies when the host subcomponent is undefined or when the
   registered name is empty (zero length).  For example, the "file" URI
   scheme is defined so that no authority, an empty host, and
   "localhost" all mean the end-user's machine, whereas the "http"
   scheme considers a missing authority or empty host invalid.

Next thing would be to figure out whether the bug is in our
URL class or elsewhere.

cheers,
  Roland
