URL with omitted protocol is not parsed properly.

[akayami]

Hi,

I've been working with the url extension and noticed it does not parse properly URL that do not contain protocol:

var url = require('url');
console.log(url.parse('//test.com/path?query=value'));

Is this a bug ?

This is mostly a copy of the node.js url code. Do they have an open issue about this?

I ran into this issue myself, and the solution was right under my nose. Change your code to:

var url = require('url');
console.log(url.parse('//test.com/path?query=value', false, true));

This will parse the host and hostname correctly, but bear in mind the returned object.protocol will be null. More details in the node docs: https://nodejs.org/api/url.html#url_url_parse_urlstring_parsequerystring_slashesdenotehost
