When trying to access link http:///, HttoClient tries to access local host
instead of trowing some kind of exception for empty host name.
Is it bug or a feature?

RFC 3986 says it's a bug. Page 20:
If the URI scheme defines a default for host, then that default
applies when the host subcomponent is undefined or when the
registered name is empty (zero length). For example, the "file" URI
scheme is defined so that no authority, an empty host, and
"localhost" all mean the end-user's machine, whereas the "http"
scheme considers a missing authority or empty host invalid.
Next thing would be to figure out whether the bug is in our
URL class or elsewhere.
cheers,
Roland

It is likely to be a bug. We happily accept patches, by the way.
