Comment:
I think this is probably valid. I su
[https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc2616#section-3.2.2 RFC 2616
(HTTP/1.1) has this for an HTTP URL]:
{{{
http_URL = "http:" "//" host [ ":" port ] [ abs_path [ "?" query ]]
}}}
It then says:
> If the abs_path is not present in the URL, it MUST be given as "/" when
used as a Request-URI for a resource.
i.e. the client MUST treat `https://example.com` as
`https://example.com/`.
(Inclined towards thinking this should probably apply to the `Location`
headers **set by the server** too, but the test client can't control for
that.)
