Description

In accordance with the code found here, empty selectors are explicitly disallowed. However, the parsing of selectors is making request with all empty selector as valid.

i.e:
Requests will empty selectors like: "/test/resource/path..a...html" are invalid
While requests with all empty selectos "/test/resource/path.....html" are valid

Which indicates an inconsistent behaviour.

Attached tests to demonstrate the same (inconsistent_empty_selectors.patch)
