Wow.

Is this a windows-only SSPI thing, or is this a widely accepted URL
convention?  I haven't seen anybody use such a URL but I would say
that is a natural thing to expect to work, as both username and
password are missing so they should default to some sensible values,
in this case "current user, shouldn't need password", just like
"scheme://site:/" is "port missing so it should default to some
sensible value, appropriate for the scheme".

I think Torsten recently added a bit more test for our URL parsing
code, especially for "scheme://site:/" (missing port), but I do not
think we have "scheme://:site/" (missing user or password).  Perhaps
we would want to have additional tests to cover this shape of URL?

Thanks.
