Interesting. This looks like it was unintentionally lost in c59ab2e
(connect.c: refactor url parsing, 2013-11-28). Given RFC1738, and that
this is the first notice of it (and that it is not even a real use case,
but something questionable in the test script), it's probably OK to
declare the syntax dead and not treat it like a regression.
