Question

In task 7b i answered "soap.html" for the path, but it was marked wrong because the expected answer was 2/soap.html". I would argue that this should really be worth 0 points. I think the answer is still right in this case.

Answer 1

According to RFC 3986, when a URI includes an authority (scheme + host), the path component must either be empty or start with “/”.

soap.html is only a path segment, not a valid full path in this context. The correct path is /soap.html.

Since the task explicitly required answers based on the RFC definition, the missing leading slash makes the answer formally incorrect.
