fix: don't throw on invalid URL

[watson]

I would prefer a proper fix for this where proxies are supported, but for now, this will have to do. I've opened an issue to add proper support for this: #1770.

Fixes #1769

Looks good. Are we going to use this as an interim solution till we find a way to solve proxy URL's?
