[uml-devel] URL parsing bug in Slim/Utils/Misc.pm

[Lars Kellogg-Stedman <lars@oddbit.com>]

I proxy access to my slimserver management interface via an SSL proxy, 
and at some revision of the slimserver software I was no longer able to 
access the server settings (I received a 403 error).

I've tracked this down to the crackURL function in Slim/Utils/Misc.pm.  
It matches URLs using the string:

  $string =~ m|http://(?:([^\@:]+):?([^\@]*)\@)?([^:/]+):*(\d*)(\S*)|i;

When crackURL sees an https:// URL, it returns an empty $host and 
default $port to the caller -- which, for example, makes the referrer 
check in processHTTP fail.  Making a two character change to $string 
makes it work just fine with https:// URLs:

  $string =~ m|https?://(?:([^\@:]+):?([^\@]*)\@)?([^:/]+):*(\d*)(\S*)|i;
