You don't say what the format and content of the 'foo' parts is. Does 
it begin with something that can be considered an "authority" segment 
(e.g., a hostname or IP address)? That's what the '//' part is 
supposed to signify; lots of people designing URI schemes seem to 
think the slashes belong after the colon in all cases, but they're 
only supposed to be there if there's an authority involved.
