Both adding it as a dependency using composer and installing it from a lockfile results in:

    $ composer require jakeasmith/http_build_url
    […]
    Package jakeasmith/http_build_url is abandoned, you should avoid using it. No replacement was suggested.
    […]
    $ rm -r vendor/
    $ composer install
    […]

Replacement is defined in the github repo, in composer you can only define an replacement package, but there is no real replacement, just alternative ways.
