Ktor Client JS: request to /example requests http://localhost/example

Ktor Version and Engine Used (client or server and name) Ktor Client Common 1.3.1, in browser (JS)

Describe the bug request to /example requests http://localhost/example

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Clone https://github.com/Ribesg/Kita/tree/2c7941183ebcde1fc2193bd00a1bed53f1249b10 on a machine which can be reached from the network (a server)

   git clone https://github.com/Ribesg/Kita
   cd Kita
   git reset --hard 2c7941183ebcde1fc2193bd00a1bed53f1249b10
   

2. Run ./runServer.sh
3. Browse to https://yourserver:12345
4. Try to login using whatever credentials (correct ones are admin/admin)
5. See failing requests to https://localhost/api/auth/login instead of https://yourserver:12345/api/auth/login in the console

Expected behavior Requests should use the current location.origin when none is provided in the browser

Any updates? Still present in 1.6.7.

I can still reproduce it using Ktor 1.6.0 when running a development server with the following code:

GlobalScope.launch {
     val client = HttpClient(Js)
     val r = client.get<String>("/example")
}
