Proxy mangles URL strings in JSON

[Thomaash]

Issue details

The URL rewriting sometimes eats a backslash following the URL, causing syntax errors.

Steps to reproduce/test case

Add the following to an HTML file served from 127.0.0.1:8887:

<script>
  console.log("[\"baseUrl\",\"127.0.0.1:8887\"]");
  console.log("[\"baseUrl\",\"//127.0.0.1:8887\"]");
  console.log("[\"baseUrl\",\"http://127.0.0.1:8887\"]");
</script>

and on localhost:3000 you get:

<script>
  console.log("[\"baseUrl\",\"//localhost:3000"]");
  console.log("[\"baseUrl\",\"//localhost:3000\"]");
  console.log("[\"baseUrl\",\"//localhost:3000"]");
</script>
