RFC2109, section 2
<quote>
Hosts names can be specified either as an IP address or a FQHN
string.  Sometimes we compare one host name with another.  Host A's
name domain-matches host B's if

* both host names are IP addresses and their host name strings match
  exactly; or

* both host names are FQDN strings and their host name strings match
  exactly; or

* A is a FQDN string and has the form NB, where N is a non-empty name
  string, B has the form .B', and B' is a FQDN string.  (So, x.y.com
  domain-matches .y.com but not y.com.)

Note that domain-match is not a commutative operation: a.b.c.com
domain-matches .c.com, but not the reverse.

Marc,

Please correct me if I am wrong, but based on the above quote I believe
HttpClient correctly implements the domain matching algorithm as defined by the
RFC2109. If you are absolutely positive that (so called) mainstream browsers
implement a different domain matching differently, we may consider relaxing the
browser compatibility spec.
