Oh, joy: it turns out that Go's net/url package doesn't understand that DID URLs can have paths.

Parsing "https://example.social/path/to/object" gives me a useful result:

&url.URL{<br></br>    Scheme:"https",<br></br>    Opaque:"",<br></br>    Host:"example.social",<br></br>    Path:"/path/to/object",<br></br>    [...]<br></br>}

But parsing "did:ap: key:z6abcdef/path/to/object" gives me this:

&url.URL{<br></br>    Scheme:"did",<br></br>    Opaque:"ap:key:z6abcdef/path/to/object",<br></br>    Host:"",<br></br>    Path:"",<br></br>    [...]<br></br>}

So I need some kind of wrapper to detect DID URLs and parse the paths out of them. That's easy enough, I suppose, but then I need to actually use that wrapper, in all the relevant places...
