What steps will reproduce the bug?

In node do the following

new URL(`https://abc.xyz`).href

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

N/A

What is the expected behavior?

'https://abc.com'

What do you see instead?

'https://abc.com/'

Additional information

I'm assuming the the URL module in Node is meant to be interoperable with the DOM W3C URL specification. Since doing this command in a browser doesn't produce a trailing slash, it appears to be a bug for Node to add one.

Hmm it appears that the Location.href in the browser returns it without the trailing slash. So I was mistaken thinking Location is synonymous with URL. Closing.
