Some code removal.  No new additions.  Actually this:

As requested.

The remaining tests, by the way, have not changed. They are identical to previous versions.

That is an SSH extension and they are certainly not URLs according to RFC 3986 because that would require every host to be its own scheme.

Also, host:path cannot in the general case, be unambiguously translated to a URL.

For example, repo.or.cz:srv/git/alt-git, has no translation. It is different from repo.or.cz:/srv/git/alt-git which does have a translation. There's no guarantee that inserting a '/' will not change the meaning of the URL (that only happens to be the case on repo.or.cz because all the ssh git users in the chroot jail have a '/' home directory).

It refers to this production from RFC 3986 Section "3.2 Authority":
authority = [ userinfo "@" ] host [ ":" port ]

Yes.
The "port" production above is:
port = *DIGIT
which means 0 or more digits.

Intentionally so.
The comments from urlmatch.c talk about this:
/*
  * Port number must be all digits with leading 0s removed
  * and since all the protocols we deal with have a 16-bit
  * port number it must also be in the range 1..65535
  * 0 is not allowed because that means "next available"
  * on just about every system and therefore cannot be used

The character '^' is one of the always-unsafe characters that must always be escaped. It's also one of the always-unsafe characters that's easy to include in the tests as it doesn't require escaping or backslashing or binary includes. It doesn't otherwise have any special meaning.
