Let me quote from the Gemini protocol specification:

2 Gemini Requests

Gemini requests are a single CRLF-terminated line with the following structure:

<URL

<CR><LF>

<URL

is a UTF-8 encoded absolute URL, of maximum length 1024 bytes.**If the scheme of the URL is not specified, a scheme of gemini:// isimplied.**(Emphasis mine.)

Please clarify what should it be.
