+.IP CURLU_NO_AUTHORITY
+If set, skips authority checks. The RFC allows individual schemes to omit the
+host part (normally the only mandatory part of the authority), but libcurl
+cannot know whether this is permitted for custom schemes. Specifying the flag
+permits empty authority sections, similar to how file scheme is handled.

fine.
