Do I assume correctly that Ktor's `Url` is only to be used for HTTP-based URLs?
It messes up URLs with other schemes like `file` or `custom`.
(It should probably be called `HttpUrl` in that case :thinking_face:)

Hi <@U1UQX3JCC>, it’s not specific to http :slightly_smiling_face:. The protocol part of url(`URLProtocol`) is data class with a public constructor.

So the following two examples would be considered a bug then?

```
Url("<mailto:marc@knaup.io>").toString() // "<mailto://localhost/marc@knaup.io>"
Url("file:///var/www").toString() // "<file://var/www>"
```

Yep, it looks like the bug in parser. Btw it should be possible to create url with a custom protocol with the default constructor.

Alright, thanks you :slightly_smiling_face:
I'll file a bug.

Awesome, thanks :slightly_smiling_face: We also accept PRs :wink:
