     * This method ensures proper URL construction by:
     * - Using the provider's base URL
     * - Trimming leading slashes from the path to prevent double-slashes
     * - Joining the base URL and path with a single forward slash
     *

     * @param string $path Optional path to append to the base URL. Default empty string.
     * @return string The complete URL.
