[ee122] "full" URLs without Paths

(Apologies if this is a dupe...)
Should the client, given a URL without a 'Path' (?Path in the grammar),
generate a valid GET request anyway? For example, if the client gets this
on stdin:
http://localhost:7789
Should the client generate a GET request that looks like this:
GET / HTTP/1.0
... which is valid (and what I would assume). Or should it send a GET
request that looks like this:
GET HTTP/1.0
.. which results in the server saying "ERROR -- Invalid Absolute-Path
token.", but is kinda logical if the grammar->GET translation is followed
directly.
Note that if the user typed:
http://localhost:7789/
This problem would not occur, since the trailing '/' is passed into the
GET string.
