Thanks. The problem is the extra ":" after "online"; your URL is malformed. You can just drop that colon entirely.

I do not think we need to support this syntax going forward (the colon is meaningless here, and our documentation is clear that it should go with a port number), but on the other hand, it might be nice to be more liberal, as we were in v2.3.3 and prior. I'll leave it to Torsten to see whether supporting that would hurt some of the other cases, or whether it would make the code too awkward.
