Description
**Description of the false positive**
We got a warning that a string may be at an arbitrary position in the sanitized URL. After looking at the code and at the warning's explanation I can definitely understand the sentiment of the warning but it is a bit opinionated. Can't assume that every time there is such a check there is a vulnerability hidden.
For example in this code's case it checks if `infura.io` is in the URL (can have various permutations so not using `startswith`) and if it is we try to make it easier for the user by using a different querying range. There is no danger whatsoever if somehow there is infura.io in a non correct part of the url.
