From the rfc #1945 it appears that the following kind of request is _not_ valid
for webservers:

GET http://localhost:8080/ HTTP/1.0

For webservers only an 'abs_path' should be specified. abs_path = "/" rel_path.
So only requests like the following are valid:

GET / HTTP/1.0
GET /abc HTTP/1.0
GET /abc/xyz HTTP/1.0

Hence there is nothing wrong with ZServer.

The surprizing thing is that apache doesn't mind it. All of the following work
:

GET / HTTP/1.0
GET http://localhost/ HTTP/1.0
GET http://gibberish/ HTTP/1.0
