This is a very good write-up.

Please make sure all of the above appears in the commit log message somewhere.

If the function "handles everything for us", that's fine, but the primary reason I am hesitant is because parse_connect_url() was designed specifically not to have to worry about some protocols (e.g. I think feeding it a "http://" would fail, and more importantly, its current callers want such a call to fail). Also it is meant to handle some non-protocols (e.g. scp style host:path that does not follow <scheme>://...).

Also does it handle the "2222" case above? I do not think parse_connect_url() even calls get_host_and_port() to be able to tell what "2222" means in these examples.
