New issue 9216 by apoyde...@gmail.com: url.Parse improperly fixes url
https://code.google.com/p/go/issues/detail?id=9216

What happened?
- net/url doesn't properly "correct" a malformed URL.

x, _ := url.Parse("http:/localhost:9999/a")
println(x.String()) // outputs: http:///localhost:9999/a

What should have happened instead?
- It should either output an error, or output "http://localhost:9999/a"

Playground:

I have produced a patch + tests for this issue although I was going to do
this via github although the go repo got pulled inexplicably. I've never
used Google code, so have no idea how to even get reviewers to look at my
patch.

Andrew Gerrand just informed me that they are in a release-freeze state so
most definitely my patch will get in in the new year. Otherwise you can
