Description:
------------
When a relative URL without a scheme and port, but with a port-like string (e.g. /example.com/foo:1234) is passed to parse_url(), it fails to parse the URL (returning false).

Test script:
---------------
var_dump(parse_url("/foo/bar:1"));

Expected result:
----------------
array(1) {
  ["path"]=>
  string(10) "/foo/bar:1"
}

Actual result:
--------------
false

This appears to be a duplicate of bug #70942.

This bug is for a relative URL. Bug 70942 is a schema-less absolute URL.

Right, but both issues have the same root cause, namely that the
colon is recognized as port delimiter, and as such the URL is
recognized as invalid.  It is already documented[1] that

| Partial URLs are also accepted, parse_url() tries its best to
| parse them correctly.

So this is not a bug.  If you feel that parse_url() should be
improved wrt. partial URLs, please pursue the RFC process[2].
