Bug #4759: Successful URI.parse to URI::HTTP can result in an error in request_uri

[mfn (Markus Fischer)]

When passing a weird-formed uri to URI.parse which gets successfully parsed, calling request_uri bombs out with undefined method.

The malformed uri: http:foo

Example code:

$ ruby -ruri -e 'URI.parse("http:foo").request_uri'
/ruby-1.9.2-p180/lib/ruby/1.9.1/uri/http.rb:91:in request_uri': undefined method []' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)
from -e:1:in `'

This also happens for variations, e.g. http::foo , http:::foo , etc.

I'm not exactly sure what to expect. Either request_uri to return nil or URI.parse("http:foo").class being of type URI::Generic instead of URI::HTTP .
