Ah, this should be a bug report since you didn't provide a prefixUrl.

The message in Got 12 says that you mustn't provide a leading slash at all.

I think error is acceptable but the error message is not clear, so I raised this issue as a question instead of a bug.

`input` must not start with a slash

this is very clear. Your input is //at.alicdn.com/t/font_1626314_1ym8doilp1d.js and it starts with a slash, hence the error.

The confusing part is prefixUrl...

Let's don't waste time on this...😂

It's a Got option.

Let me rephrase: you didn't provide a prefixUrl, yet still got an error saying you did. The prefixUrl part is removed from the message in Got 12.
