Error with URL with double slash

[crondaemon]

Hi, I'm opening a new bug, since the reproducer is different, but I guess it's related to #338. When I use this code

require 'em-http-request'

USER_AGENT = 'Ruby Net::HTTP MyAgent'

def connection_opts
  {
    proxy: {
      host: 'hhh',
      port: 'ppp',
      authorization: ['uuu', 'ppp']
    }
  }
end

def http_get_opts
  @http_get_opts ||= {
    head: {
      'User-Agent' => USER_AGENT
    }
  }
end

EventMachine.run do
  http = EventMachine::HttpRequest.new("http://ip.address//", connection_opts).get(http_get_opts)
  http.callback do
    puts "Connection ok"
    EventMachine.stop
  end
  http.errback do
    puts "Connection failed"
    EventMachine.stop
  end
end

(please note the double slash after the ip address), I get a crash: Absolute URI missing hierarchical segment: 'http://' (Addressable::URI::InvalidURIError). However, if I use

def connection_opts
  {}
end

everything is ok. I guess that somewhere in the code, the input URL is tokenized using // and passed to Addressable. When split/joined the resulting string is an invalid URL and addressable raises an exception.
