RFC 3986, Section 3, second paragraph
(https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3)
"When authority is present, the path must
either be empty or begin with a slash ("/") character. When
authority is not present, the path cannot begin with two slash
characters ("//")."
So if the authority part is present ("//" [userinfo "@"] host [":" port]), then
the path must be absolute or not present at all. If there's no authority part
then a path may start with almost any character.
Since host cannot contain ":" unless it is surrounded by square brackets, then
I believe that means that "//hostname:123path" is not a valid authority part.
If there's no authority part, the path cannot start with "//", so then the URI
is invalid.
