            Bug ID: 244629
           Summary: Hyperlink navigations to unparseable URLs should never
                    attempt to navigate
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Page Loading
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

This is basically a duplicate of https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1358340.

As per the navigation and session history rewrite (https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/6315) we are changing the error case for hyperlink navigations to unparseable URLs to silently fail to navigate.

Safari currently attempts to navigate, and ends up on a broken page with the URL bar updated to the unparseable URL. This should all be caught earlier in WebKit, in HTMLAnchorElement or something.
