SharePoint 2010 Invalid URI: The Authority/Host Could not be Parsed Error while Restoring

SharePoint 2010 Invalid URI: The Authority/Host could not be parsed error while restoring
 
Scenario:
 
My friend was trying to restore a site collection. He got the below error when he the did restore,
 
Restore-SPSite : Invalid URI: The Authority/Host could not be parsed
 
Later he found that he missed one slash("/") after http:/sitename.com in the URL on which he was trying to restore.
 
Simple but this can help someone to identify their issue.
