This is an interesting observation, but I do not think that matching URLParser is what we are after here, at least not directly.

The new function added here just takes a String, so it doesn't have any pre-requisites, like the string being a normalized URL. There are certainly input paths into WebKit where we rely on external components more, such as when taking the initial request from the client, or when handling a redirect. All of these need to be vetted if/when we decide that we don't want to match inet_pton.
