Description

I observe the following kind of failures on some of my smokers:

#   Failed test at t/http-config.t line 59.
#          got: 'u:p|slash|.com|GET|not secure|always'
#     expected: '.com|GET|secure|always'

#   Failed test at t/http-config.t line 69.
#          got: 'u:p|slash|.com|success|GET|not secure|always'
#     expected: '.com|success|GET|secure|always'

#   Failed test at t/http-config.t line 73.
#          got: 'u:p|slash|success|GET|not secure|always'
#     expected: 'success|GET|always'
# Looks like you failed 3 tests of 28.
t/http-config.t ............. 
Dubious, test returned 3 (wstat 768, 0x300)
Failed 3/28 subtests 

This seems to happen also on other systems, for example: http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/34a5f0ee-13ca-11e9-8c82-aba07c4588f0

Research direction

Start with the failures in t/http-config.t at lines 59, 69, and 73, then investigate how URI 1.75 changes the values exercised by those tests. Run t/http-config.t and compare the results with the expected output; done means all 28 tests pass across the affected environments.
