Basically this:

import { connect } from '@planetscale/database'

const config = {
  url: 'http://user:password@localhost:3000'
}

const conn = connect(config)

Because....

We're using a home-grown Docker image to allow us to build with @planetscale/database while in offline situations (like the 14 hour flight I was just on)- it's a dumb express server that emulates, as far as we can tell, the current API this package uses. Obviously understanding the API isn't documented, is not really intended for this and is subject to change etc, it would still be good if this package didn't assume the connection URL is an https one when using the config.url value with a valid http/https string.

I've got a fork that implements it (and adds a test), but wanted to float the idea before submitting a PR.
