It should be possible to initialize the library with a full url

It should be possible to initialize the library with a full url e.g.:

http://192.168.52.1:4444

The background is that we start the selenium server with the jenkins 
seleniumrc-plugin and recive the selenium-variable in the form described above.

Sounds fine to me. I think this should work so that the server_host argument 
given to the library could be either just host (current behavior), host:port, 
or http://host:port. The library itself needs host and port separately but 
splitting them from these formats is easy.

The library also takes separate server_port argument. If this port is given, it 
should have precedence over the port given as part of the server_host argument.

Are you nicolai (I don't see the whole name) interested in implementing this?

Hello Pekka,

Yes, I am interested in this feature being implemented.
And I would implement this enhancement by myself, but I'm too busy at the 
moment, sorry...

Another additional note: I forgot to mention that the url we recieve via the 
selenium-variable ends up with a "/" e.g: http://192.168.52.1:4444/

It's unlikely that the core development team has time to implement this either 
in the near future so let us know when you have some time available. The URL 
can be parsed e.g. with the urlparse module so possible slashes at the end are 
easy to handle.
