FILTER_FLAG_SCHEME_REQUIRED and FILTER_FLAG_HOST_REQUIRED flags are deprecated in PHP 7.3. See https://wiki.php.net/rfc/deprecations_php_7_3

Did a quick search but didn't find usages. Is this deprecation relevant to this lib?

[Pictor13]

The flags are implicitly used in filter_var(), when specifying FILTER_VALIDATE_URL.
The explicit use of the flags is deprecated (since, as I understood from this SO, makes no difference; they'll be used anyway).

So dunno if there is actual code to fix (in the code we never specify those flags explicitly).

Additionally, there is a bug report related to that, but is still open so the deprecation is not because of this one being fixed.

So you both probably did the work I intended for this ticket. 👍 I created the ticket as I saw the changelog and wanted to check whether there are side effects with the filter_var stuff we use.
