Research direction

Start at the QUIC sendHeaders entry point and reproduce the WebTransport case with a :path value missing its leading slash. Compare the behavior visible to JavaScript with the validation detected by nghttp3; done means the expected handling is established and covered by an appropriate regression test or clarified as valid behavior.

Description

quic

While writing a webtransport test, I forgot on the client side a beginning '/' in the path, so something like ':path': 'testwtpath' . I do not think that this was reported back to js side on the server side. (it is detected in side nghttp3).
I wonder if this is a problem or if the behaviour is fine.
(I did not looked deeper into it, it was just by accident or stupidity).
