println(Url("<https://www.google.com/unicorns>").pathSegments)

Is it a bug that this returns a list of two strings, where the first is empty and the second one is unicorns?
Imo this should only contain unicorns

Do I understand correctly, that this is a bug in 2.0.1 and not in 2.0.0 that’s now fixed by https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/pull/2975 in main?

According to the test this behavior is expected.

[Grégory Lureau]

What means line 330 in this test then? Looks a bit weird...
Also l.361 matches this specific case.

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

I would say line 365

I agree that empty path segments for trailing slashes looks strange

[Paul Woitaschek]

It's also unexpected and has caused a bug here (which was thankfully covered by a test 😅)

For some reason it’s tagged as 2.0.1 and I can’t change that

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

I’ve added an explanation for this behavior in a comment.

[Paul Woitaschek]

Thanks. Added more explanation why I think this is a bad idea
