Describe the bug

I see no reason for cast to take ~3 times curl to contact localhost. This makes scripts that use cast for various rpc calls very sluggish. - 48ms to a TCP round-trip to local "get", compared to 15ms for "curl"

 $ time cast chain-id -r http://localhost:8545
1337

real	0m0.048s
user	0m0.020s
sys	0m0.020s
✔ /tmp
19:45 $ time curl -s -d '{"method":"eth_chainId","params":[],"id":1234,"jsonrpc":"2.0"}' -H content-type:application/json http://localhost:8545
{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1234,"result":"0x539"}

real	0m0.015s
user	0m0.003s
sys	0m0.008s
✔ /tmp
19:45 $ cast --version
cast 0.2.0 (42a9d34 2024-03-18T00:21:12.549807000Z)

are you executing this in a foundry project by any chance?

this is likely because we're trying to load foundry.toml

I believe we added this so that aliases work as input args, although I think we should skip that entirely if the URL arg is actually an URL

cc #6204 #6350, will do the same on the new reqwest clients
