possible to create bad http urls without generating an exception

           Summary: possible to create bad http urls without generating an
                    exception
           Product: Commons
           Version: 2.0 Milestone 1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: Other
         Component: HttpClient
        AssignedTo: commons-httpclient-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: garry@ascii-turf.net


i found that a url such as:

http:www.fish.com

or even:

http:

pass the validation tests but for example when you try to get the host name for the url it returns a 
null.

i don't know if this is even a bug - it might be an unavoidable consequence of the specs - but it 
seemed bad to me.

thanks

garry
