Bug #19157: URI bad component validation can be tricked

https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/19157



* Author: straight-shoota (Johannes Müller)

* Status: Open

* Priority: Normal

* ruby -v: 3.1.3

* Backport: 2.7: UNKNOWN, 3.0: UNKNOWN, 3.1: UNKNOWN

----------------------------------------

`URI::HTTP` checks the validity of the URI components. For example, the path of a URI with authority component must be either empty or start with a slash.



This validation applies on the `.build` constructor as well as on the `path` setter.

But it can be tricked when setting an empty authority component and scheme before setting a relative path, and then setting the authority and scheme again.

This produces an invalid and incorrect URI.



``` ruby

require "uri"



uri = URI::HTTP.build({})

uri.scheme = nil

uri.path = "resource"

uri.host = "example.com" # this should raise URI::InvalidComponentError

uri.scheme = "http"

uri.to_s # => "http://example.comresource"

```
