Re: [whatwg/url] why are backslashes accepted for slashes? (#346)

For this particular case (after the scheme), it is [special authority *ignore* slashes state](https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#special-authority-ignore-slashes-state). For all other cases, go to [basic URL parser](https://url.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-basic-url-parser) and <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>F</kbd> "U+005C (\\)".
