That is probably going too far the other way since it doesn't allow
':' and therefore cannot contain a URL.
Maybe the "quoted-string" from RFC7230 3.2.6 ?
quoted-string = DQUOTE *( qdtext / quoted-pair ) DQUOTE
qdtext = HTAB / SP /%x21 / %x23-5B / %x5D-7E / obs-text
obs-text = %x80-FF
quoted-pair = "\" ( HTAB / SP / VCHAR / obs-text )
r maybe simply point at RFC7230 3.2.6, since that talks about
HTTP headers in general ?

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
