Thanks. The problem is the extra ":" after "online"; your URL is
malformed. You can just drop that colon entirely.

I do not think we need to support this syntax going forward (the colon
is meaningless here, and our documentation is clear that it should go
with a port number), but on the other hand, it might be nice to be more
liberal, as we were in v2.3.3 and prior. I'll leave it to Torsten to see
whether supporting that would hurt some of the other cases, or whether
it would make the code too awkward.
