The existing wording refers to a "request's authority", which is not clearly defined by HTTP specs.
This rewords it to refer to the "request's target URI authority" - the "authority" part of the "target URI" of the request, which is well-defined: https://httpwg.org/http-core/draft-ietf-httpbis-semantics-latest.html#target.resource
Also normalize some word casing to match the HTTP Semantics doc.
