url.path vs url.pathname

[julien-f]

It seems that http(s).request(url) uses url.path while urlLib.format(url) uses url.pathname.

I do not have the time to look further but I think it can cause some issues (for instance when displaying the URL in an error message).

@julien-f nice catch. url.format is not quite good at formatting I think:

url.format({protocol: 'http:', host: 'localhost', port: 6767});
// => http://localhost without port

So in error messages (that was generated from got with Object as first argument) we don't have port now. :(

May be it worth trying to replace url.format with some module?

[julien-f]

It's because host is ${hostname}:${port}`, therefore it takes precedence.

It seems that http(s).request(url) uses url.path while urlLib.format(url) uses url.pathname.

Should we maybe open an issue on iojs? Seems like that should be consistent.
