Issue with Base URL Configuration in CodeIgniter Using Laragon

I'm having an issue with the CodeIgniter routing system, especially when I modify the base URL, which becomes necessary when I'm using Laragon as the server with Apache since it sets up a specific URL. Here's the scenario:

Scenario without changing app.baseURL:

app.baseURL = ''

In this case, everything works correctly even if I use a different URL than the one set by Laragon, for example: http://codeigniter.test/

Scenario with a change in app.baseURL:

app.baseURL = 'http://codeigniter.test/'

When I change the base URL to the one used by Laragon (http://codeigniter.test/), an error occurs. What could be causing this issue?

Note: Previous versions of CodeIgniter do not have this error. I use version 4.4.1

The error message shows the baseURL is invalid as a URL.
But http://codeigniter.test/ seems to be valid.

Change the following code, and show the error message.

Note: The name of the project/URL I'm using is http://pas_backend.test/. 'codeigniter.test' was an example, but I downloaded in another project and got the same result, as in the previous error example, which was teste_test.test.

http://pas_backend.test/ or pas_backend.test is invalid.
Do not use `_` in domain names.

Is this a new configuration in CodeIgniter? Because I use projects with older versions (4.36) and it works fine. It's just in this project that, somehow, I'm not able to make it work

Yes.
The previous versions did not validate the baseURL.
Now it is validated as a correct URL.

Thank you very much for your help and attention!

Good to know!!
