3.0-rc1 doesn't like my "host" header

Hi, Fellow HttpClient Users,

I'm getting different behaviour between 2.0.2 and 3.0 when I explicitly
set a "host" header.

Here's the code:

HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
GetMethod m = new GetMethod( "http://www.google.ca/" );
m.setRequestHeader( "host", "garbanzo" );
client.executeMethod( m );

How can I set the "host" header to "garbanzo" in 3.0?


commons-httpclient-3.0-rc1.jar
=========================================
>> "GET / HTTP/1.1[\r][\n]"
>> "User-Agent: Jakarta Commons-HttpClient/3.0-rc1[\r][\n]"
>> "Host: www.google.ca[\r][\n]"


commons-httpclient-2.0.2.jar
=========================================
>> "GET / HTTP/1.1[\r][\n]"
>> "host: garbanzo[\r][\n]"
>> "User-Agent: Jakarta Commons-HttpClient/2.0.2[\r][\n]"


yours,

Julius

In HttpClient 3.0 use the following HTTP method parameter:

http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/3.0/apidocs/org/apache/commons/httpclient/params/HttpMethodParams.html#VIRTUAL_HOST
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/3.0/apidocs/org/apache/commons/httpclient/params/HttpMethodParams.html#setVirtualHost(java.lang.String)

For details on the new preference API see:

http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/3.0/preference-api.html

Hope this helps

Oleg

Hello Julies,

> How can I set the "host" header to "garbanzo" in 3.0?

by accessing a URL with "garbanzo" as the host name.

The behaviour in 2.0.2 is obviously wrong. HTTP/1.1
requests must contain a Host header specifying the
hostname of the URL that is accessed. Only the path
of the URL is in the first line of the request.

Try forcing HTTP/1.0 as the protocol, then HttpClient
does not need to set a Host header.

hope that helps,
  Roland
