  GET /car HTTP/1.1 
  Host: example.org

The scheme doesn't matter - to be precise the http: scheme is used to
locate resources, not to dereference them. What matters is the ability
to plonk a hostname-port pair in the namespace (at least for the web as
it stands today). You'll want to do that anyway to ensure you have a
unique name.
