Subject: [PATCH] fix_hostname: zero length host name caused -1 index offset
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

If a URL is given with a zero-length host name, like in "http://:80" or
just ":80", `fix_hostname()` will index the host name pointer with a -1
offset (as it blindly assumes a non-zero length) and both read and
assign that address.
