amqp://server     -> default vhost, usually "/"
amqp://server/    -> vhost called "" - probably not what you want
amqp://server//   -> invalid URL
amqp://server/%2f -> explicitly use vhost "/"

The combination of the default vhost being called "/" in the AMQP spec 
and the rules for formatting URLs are not exactly what I'd call a 
marriage made in heaven :-(

Cheers, Simon
