Summary
Perspec
<https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#forbidden-host-code-point>,URL
hostnames cannot contain the space character, but currently URL
parsing in Chromium allows spaces in the hostname. This causes
Chromium to fail several tests included in the Interop2024HTTPS
URLs for WebSocket
<https://wpt.fyi/results/websockets?label=master&label=experimental&aligned&view=interop&q=label%3Ainterop-2024-websockets>andURL
<https://wpt.fyi/results/url?label=master&label=experimental&aligned&view=interop&q=label%3Ainterop-2023-url>
focus areas.
To bring Chromium into spec compliance, ideally we would ban
spaces from allspecial <https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#is-special>
URL hosts, but a difficulty with this is spaces could be used in
the host part in Windows file:// URLs (see discussion
athttps://github.com/whatwg/url/issues/599
<https://github.com/whatwg/url/issues/599>).
So, the scope of this Intent is for the change to bring Chromium
closer to spec compliance by making spaces fail URL hostname
parsing for non-file:// URLs only.

TAG review
None. This is implementing previously specced behavior, and Gecko
and WebKit already treat spaces in URL hostnames as URL parse errors.

Risks
Interoperability and Compatibility
From an interoperability perspective this is strictly positive:
the change brings Chromium closer to spec compliance and
interoperable URL parsing behavior with other engines. There is
some compat risk given this is a web-visible change to existing
URL parsing behavior. I believe the risk to be reasonable given
that we are now aligning with the 2 other browser engines, and
excluding the potentially risky file:// URL case.
In 2021, data was collected about the use of space and other
not-allowed-per-spec characters in hostnames. See here
<https://issues.chromium.org/u/0/issues/40124263#comment31> for
that data and some discussion. On Windows, space was escaped in
0.004143% of hostnames parsed. /Gecko/: Shipped/Shipping
/WebKit/: Shipped/Shipping /Web developers/: No signals /Other
signals/: This issue is causing Chromium/Edge failures in the

Anticipated spec changes
Depending on the result of
https://github.com/whatwg/url/issues/599
<https://github.com/whatwg/url/issues/599>, file:// URLs may
either change to follow the same behavior of disallowing spaces,
or (more likely) change to be treated as having opaque hostnames
which would permanently allow them to have spaces. Either
resolution is compatible with this Intent since we are not
changing the behavior for file:// URLs.
