Claude Code now parses the address and stores it in a standard form, for example with the host name in lowercase and every trailing slash removed. Before, it only trimmed the text and removed one trailing slash.\n\nThe existing rule is unchanged: a gateway URL must use `https:\/\/`, and plain `http:\/\/` is only allowed for localhost during development.\n\n**Why**\n\nTwo ways of writing the same address, such as one with a capitalised host or an extra slash, are now treated as the same gateway.\n\n- Area: Gateway\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
