1. Request URL String = "http:/%2F/%2F/%2F/"
Got request for "/%2F/%2F/%2F/"
2. Request URL String = "http://why-hello-there/%2F/%2F/%2F/";
Got request for "//why-hello-there/%2F/%2F/%2F/"
The 1st works on for client & server with Go's *http.Transport. (but stringifies
poorly, which means it doesn't work on App Engine).
The 2nd stringifies correctly (so it'll work with App Engine's urlfetch), but it doesn't
send the correct HTTP request with *http.Transport (it should include the scheme, if the
Opaque starts with "//")
