Easy perform returns url_malformat for valid URLs

Platform details

• Mac OS Monterey 12.3.1. Chip: Apple M1 Max
• Ruby version: 2.6.8
• Curl: 7.79.1
• Ethon version: 0.12.0

When running:

[1] pry(main)> easy = Ethon::Easy.new(url: "www.google.de")
[api] [grape] ETHON: Libcurl initialized
=> #<Ethon::Easy:0x0000000116704df8

 @url="www.google.de">
[2] pry(main)> easy.perform
[api] [grape] ETHON: performed EASY effective_url= response_code= return_code=url_malformat total_time=
=> :url_malformat

This happens with any url (I have tried several from examples that work in other colleagues machines, linux ones).

If I tried the same with curl directly it works:

curl -I www.google.de
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
Date: Tue, 24 May 2022 10:21:05 GMT

The libcurl library seems to be the same:

[1] pry(main)> Ethon::Curl.version
=> "libcurl/7.79.1 SecureTransport (LibreSSL/3.3.5) zlib/1.2.11 nghttp2/1.45.1"

curl --version
curl 7.79.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin21.0) libcurl/7.79.1 (SecureTransport) LibreSSL/3.3.5 zlib/1.2.11 nghttp2/1.45.1
Release-Date: 2021-09-22
Protocols: dict file ftp ftps gopher gophers http https imap imaps ldap ldaps mqtt pop3 pop3s rtsp smb smbs smtp smtps telnet tftp 
Features: alt-svc AsynchDNS GSS-API HSTS HTTP2 HTTPS-proxy IPv6 Kerberos Largefile libz MultiSSL NTLM NTLM_WB SPNEGO SSL UnixSockets

One thing I noticed from the log message I get after executing easy.perform is that the effective_url is empty. Could it be something related to that? Also the fact that my chip is the M1 might be relevant.

ETHON: performed EASY effective_url= response_code= return_code=url_malformat total_time=

Any help is appreciated.

I finally fixed it by upgrading to version 0.15.0. I'm not sure exactly what was the PR that fixed it, perhaps this one: #180 but anyways, I guess it doesn't matter 😄 . Thanks anyways and sorry for the noise ✌️ .
