TBD2 Scheme Required   

may happen when listener is for op-sec only -- it expects only
http requests over TLS and listener does not serve https requests.

Scheme is required then because it is what is
required for op-sec. 

Or that is 421 (Misdirected Request) also (as you suggested for
TBD1 Scheme Not Allowed).
