Some URL methods not supported in convex runtime

I'm using normalize-url, which works both in Node and the web - it looks like some of the web URL api isn't supported. I have a number of places to normalize url inputs and pushing that through an action is going to be pretty loopy. Curious if support is in the cards.

Not implemented: set username for URL. Consider calling an action defined in Node.js instead (https://docs.convex.dev/functions/actions).

The offending library code:

const urlObject = new URL(urlString);
urlObject.username = ''

const urlObject = new URL(urlString);
urlObject.username = ''

Hmm I bet you're not fully supporting URL to keep the runtime light

We can see how much effor this would take

"to keep the runtime light" is a most generous way to put this, thank you @erquhart — there's some truth to that but mostly we haven't gotten around to it, since https://www.npmjs.com/package/normalize-url is huge we should add support for this.

actually just hitting that error automatically logs it as "someone tried to use this API, tally it torwards us implementing it"

Nice, thanks for the context! I'll limit my use to client side for now
