Description
If I don't provide a URL with an "http://" prefix, I get a NullReferenceException.
This is not relevant for udp.
Using version 2.5.
The problem is in InfluxDBImpl:
return InetAddress.getByName(HttpUrl.parse(url).host());

Research direction
Start at InfluxDBImpl and inspect the InetAddress lookup using HttpUrl.parse(url). Check how UDP-only configuration reaches this call and verify that it no longer requires an HTTP-formatted address, while preserving valid HTTP URL handling. Confirm the behavior with the project's relevant tests.
