The dynamic part in the message, if any, should be the reason explaining why the url is invalid and not the url it self.

Migrating from url.parse() to new URL() you may start to see ERR_INVALID_URL errors in logs and http responses where the message contains the full input url. I decided to propose this change after discovering a secret being exposed. It will produce more compact errors but it may also help avoid user error like this to become a common attack surface during migration to whatwg.

ERR_INVALID_URL also seems to stand out from the other more compact errors found in errors.js so I hope this change is welcome.

What do you guys think?

The commit message should be

- errors: removed input from ERR_INVALID_URL message
+ errors: remove input from ERR_INVALID_URL message

as we use an imperative verb (https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/doc/guides/contributing/pull-requests.md#commit-message-guidelines) but this can be fixed while landing.
