Well... in your specific case not, because normalization of the https
scheme inserts "/" when the path is zero length. Although this is
scheme-specific. Generally speaking, there is always a path, it can be
zero length. This is different from the query and fragment - which may
or may not exist. A query can exist and be zero length, and the query
can not exist.

Thanks
