Sorry, that's not the case. It's easy to understand when looking at the "hier-part" production at https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3986/#section-3. An authority component is only needed if the scheme is followed by two slashes. There are even schemes that allow an empty path (https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3986/#section-3.3). That was "pioneered" by "dav:", which very reluctantly lead to allowing empty paths is RFC 3986. Regards, Martin.
