Converting these use-sites to URI will require care and working through issues on a case by case basis. This is because URI is strict and will reject bad input that URL may have handled differently. It may, for example, require changing the exception handling so that exceptions such as URISyntaxException (or IAE if code is changed to URI.create) maps to what is appropriate for code using URL. So slow and careful work for future PRs I think.
