URL Functions to Work with Domains Now Can Work for Incomplete Urls Without Scheme #5725 (alesapin)

URL functions to work with domains now can work for incomplete URLs without scheme #5725 (alesapin)
URL functions that work with domain names in ClickHouse now support incomplete URLs without requiring a scheme.

Why it matters

This feature addresses the limitation where URL functions could only process URLs that included a scheme (e.g., http:// or https://). By enabling support for incomplete URLs without a scheme, users can extract or analyze domain components from a broader range of URL-like strings, improving flexibility and usability.

How to use it

Use existing URL functions as usual on URL strings that may lack a scheme. The functions will now correctly parse and work with such incomplete URLs without additional configuration.
