Normalize URL fields in responses #1028

URL fields in responses are plain strings that pass through untouched — the generated zod schemas deliberately do not enforce format: uri. The Python client types them as pydantic.AnyUrl, which normalizes during validation (trailing slash on an empty path, lowercased host, dropped default port, punycode, percent-encoding), so the two clients return different strings for the same field.

See apify/apify-client-python#999 for the full context and apify/apify-client-python#1005 for how it was resolved there.

Decide whether the JS client should normalize as well. If yes, it belongs in 3.0 — it changes the values callers get back.
