http and https in p:http-request

I really think it's a mistake to require the URI for http-request to
be an http: or https: URI. There are lots of (unfortunately non-standard)
URI schemes out there that are really just http with a different scheme
name, e.g., ical:

I don't see any reason why an implementation should be forbidden from
understanding other schemes.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
