Most of these eventually turn the String into a URL, so using a URL
directly should work?
jshell> URL u = new URL("http", "::1", 9002, "/")
u ==> http://[::1]:9002/
jshell> URL u = new URL("http",
InetAddress.getLoopbackAddress().getHostAddress(), 9002, "/")
u ==> http://127.0.0.1:9002/
jshell> URL u = new URL("http",
InetAddress.getLoopbackAddress().getHostName(), 9002, "/")
u ==> http://localhost:9002/
