Is specifying a full url (to override base url from default request) broken?

```val ktorClient = HttpClient {
    install(DefaultRequest) {
        url("<http://10.0.2.2:8080/>")
    }
}
ktorClient
    .get("<https://blog.hootsuite.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Image-copyright.png>")
    .bodyAsText()```
yields
`java.net.UnknownHostException: Unable to resolve host "<http://blog.hootsuite.com|blog.hootsuite.com>": No address associated with hostname`

according to docs it should work
<https://api.ktor.io/ktor-client/ktor-client-core/io.ktor.client.plugins/-default-request/index.html?_gl=1*h0nsn6*_gcl_au*MTE5MzE5ODA5OS4xNzE2NjcyNjA0*_ga*MTIwNjAyMTUzMy4xNjc2ODM2MDY2*_ga_9J976DJZ68*MTcxOTMyMTUyOC4yMi4wLjE3MTkzMjE1MjguNjAuMC4w|https://api.ktor.io/ktor-client/ktor-client-core/io.ktor.client.plugins/-default-r[…]DY2*_ga_9J976DJZ68*MTcxOTMyMTUyOC4yMi4wLjE3MTkzMjE1MjguNjAuMC4w>

`client.get("<https://some.url>")`

// ktor = "2.3.12"

I have no problem running your code except for the `bodyAsText` call.

I don't know what I did, but now it works :smile: Probably just a incremental compilation issue or something.
