Checked the libsoup source code. soup_uri_new() calls
soup_uri_new_with_base(), and this function has a whole heap of code
which lives outside of a class method.
So yes, using .new() is the only option here. Maybe add a comment
before commit explaining that the GObject constructor can't be used in
this case because the code we need is locked up behind .new().

Thanks
