[jira] [Commented] (THRIFT-5178) THttpClient should work without specifying host

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-5178?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17087874#comment-17087874 ] 

Mario Emmenlauer commented on THRIFT-5178:
------------------------------------------

The PR for this issue adds a new default for the HTTP path. It sets path = "service". This is not strictly required, but mitigates issue THRIFT-5180 where a path name is _required_ for Unix domain sockets.

In my personal opinion, it is also more useful to have a default path than not to have a path. After reading https://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec5.html I'm under the impression that the HTTP/1.1 protocol requires a Request-URI.

> The [constructors for THttpClient|https://github.com/apache/thrift/blob/9e864d57026b4905862108418ba9482892fb1f65/lib/cpp/src/thrift/transport/THttpClient.h#L31] require specifying a `host`. However not all supported socket types would require a host. I.e. when using a Unix domain socket, the `host` property does not convey additional information, as the socket only works on localhost. The constructor of the socket (the underlying transport) does not require host.
> It would be nice if there was a constructor that avoids host (making it optional).
