[jira] Reopened: (HTTPCLIENT-911) Support underscore in domain name, or provide better exception

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-911?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Sebb reopened HTTPCLIENT-911:
-----------------------------


Current code does not work if there is a colon in the path but no colon in the host part.

This appears to have been caused by the following change:

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpcomponents/httpclient/trunk/httpclient/src/main/java/org/apache/http/impl/client/AbstractHttpClient.java?r1=980937&r2=980936&pathrev=980937

which was presumably intended to improve underscore support?

The method currently has no unit tests - previously it was simple enough not to need them, but now I think they are needed.

This requires changing the method from private to package-protected - which should not cause any problems as the method does not change any external fields.

> When calling on HttpClient.execute with a url that contain underscore ('_'), you get NullPointerException.
> Tracing it down show that java.net.Uri complains that it is illegal name. Which is true according to the RFC.
> But it seems that most browser allow it, and some companies support it.
> I think HttpClient should either support underscores, or atleast provide a better exception.
