According to section 3.3 of RFC 3986[1], and also RFC 2396[2] which preceded it, a path is made up of zero or more consecutive "/" + section  pieces, and a section may be empty. In other words, paths may include consecutive slashes.

Several StackOverflow answers to questions on this subject (e.g. this[3], and this[4]) also agree that consecutive slashes are valid, based on the aforementioned RFCs and other references.
