[patch 06/16] dont choke on empty URI path

[Davi Arnaut <da...@haxent.com.br>]

According to my reading of RFC3986 (section 6.2.3.) if a URI contains an
authority component and an empty path, the empty path is to be equivalent
to "/".

It explicitly cites the following four URIs as equivalents:

    http://example.com
    http://example.com/
    http://example.com:/
    http://example.com:80/

     return !strncmp(filter->path, url->path, pathlen);
