even rfc 7240, back in 2014, said:

rfc 9112 just shortened that to:

9112> A server MUST accept the absolute-form in requests even though most
9112> HTTP/1.1 clients will only send the absolute-form to a proxy.

So STD 99 does say that all http serers must accept the long form GET.

Whether anyone actually pays attention.....
