It is unusual in texts, of course, but specifying the scheme (e.g. http) and omitting the host name asks the already known host via a (possibly different) scheme for the path, which then begins after the colon. One slash instructs the server to look for the path beginning from its document root. If there is no slash after the colon, the current directory is used. As said: this is all pretty unusual in normal text.
