MalformedURLException when using XmlSlurper

I have following code snippet in groovy:

s = '''
<html>
<head>
<title>My title</title>
</head>
<body>
This is body!
</body>
</html>'''

new XmlSlurper().parse(s)

It gives following exception:

java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: 
<html>
<head>
<title>My title</title>
</head>
<body>
This is body!
</body>
</html>

Why should there be a MalformedURLException when parsing XML?
