http{s}: don't connect to localhost on invalid URL

If the URL passed to `http{s}.request` or `http{s}.get` is not properly
parsable by `url.parse`, we fall back to use `localhost` and port 80.
This creates confusing error messages like in this question
http://stackoverflow.com/q/32675907/1903116.

This patch throws an error message, if `url.parse` fails to parse the
URL properly.
