Refuse an image URL whose host is not a host name or IP address (closes #275)
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s

A ? written into the host segment as %3F reached the parser decoded,
so cdn.example.com?x=1 passed the allowlist as cdn.example.com, fetched
the host's root path with that query, and was cached under its own keys:
another unsigned spelling of one upstream request. The host segment is
now accepted only as a host name, an IPv4 address or a bracketed IPv6
address, with an optional port, and anything else is refused with 400.
An IPv6 address without brackets is now refused instead of needing a
signature; a host name outside ASCII is refused, its punycode accepted.

Model: opus-5-5
