> Constructing URLPermission with an empty/missing host in the authority (e.g., `"http:///path"`) could throw `StringIndexOutOfBoundsException`.
> 
> **Problem**
> Empty or malformed authorities reach HostPortrange, which does `charAt(0)` without checking, causing `StringIndexOutOfBoundsException`.
> 
> **Fix**
> - `URLPermission.Authority`: after stripping userinfo, fail fast if host part is empty.
> - `HostPortrange`: add guards for null/empty input and leading ':' (port without host).
> - No `HttpURLConnection` changes needed in JDK 26 (the `SecurityManager` permission path is gone).
> 
> **Compatibility**
> Only affects malformed inputs: previously `StringIndexOutOfBoundsException`, now `IllegalArgumentException`. Valid inputs unaffected.
> 
> **Testing**
> New jtreg test: `test/jdk/java/net/URLPermission/EmptyAuthorityTest.java` verifies `IllegalArgumentException` for malformed authorities and success for valid ones.
