A request with a specially crafted URL starting with a double slash (e.g., `//example.com`) could cause the server-side rendering logic to interpret the request as being for a different host. This is due to the behavior of the `URL` constructor when a protocol-relative URL is passed as the first argument. This vulnerability could be exploited to make the server execute requests to a malicious domain when relative paths are used within the application (e.g., via `HttpClient`), potentially leading to content injection or other security risks. The fix ensures that the request URL is always constructed as a full URL string, including the protocol and host, before being passed to the `URL` constructor. This prevents the host from being overridden by the path. Closes angular#31464
