"Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP/1.1): Message Syntax and Routing".

--------------------------------------
Status: Rejected
Type: Editorial

Reported by: Armin Abfalterer <a.abfalterer@gmail.com>
Date Reported: 2019-02-05
Rejected by: Alexey Melnikov (IESG)

Section: 2.7

Original Text
-------------
absolute-URI  = <absolute-URI, see [RFC3986], Section 4.3>

Corrected Text
--------------


Notes
-----
RFC3986 defines "absolute-URI" very openly, especially regarding to "hier-part":

      absolute-URI  = scheme ":" hier-part [ "?" query ]

      hier-part   = "//" authority path-abempty
                  / path-absolute
                  / path-rootless
                  / path-empty

The impact is reflected in RFC 7231 in the definition of the header fields Referer and Content-Location.

      absolute-URI = <absolute-URI, see [RFC7230], Section 2.7>

Thus, following examples of header values are considered valid

Referer: https:foo/bar
Referer: https:/foo
Referer: https:/
Referer: foo:/

I'd suggest to define "hier-part" (but also "scheme") more strictly.
