what is a canonical root URL?

2068 says:

   The realm attribute (case-insensitive) is required for all
   authentication schemes which issue a challenge. The realm value
   (case-sensitive), in combination with the canonical root URL (see
   section 5.1.2) of the server being accessed, defines the protection
   space.

But I can't figure out from 5.1.2 what exactly a canonical root URL
is.  My assumption is that it is just the URL without any
path info, ie. scheme+host+port, right?
