Hello list,  
I’m looking for someone with a Ruby 1.9 installation for a quick test.

I just discovered a bug in URI.parse.  
This to run the following code:

> URI.parse(“http:/foo.bar.com”)

It returns an URI object but I would expect an error.

#\<URI::HTTP:0x2dc35a URL:http:/foo.bar.com\>

Someone can tell me if Ruby 1.9 addressed this bug?

Thanks,  
– Simone

It’s not a bug.

It is a valid URI which doesn’t have host part.

irb(main):001:0\> require ‘uri’

irb(main):002:0\> uri = URI.parse(“http:/foo.bar.com”)

irb(main):004:0\> uri.host  
=\> nil
