             Summary: HttpHost should provide a constructor taking an InetAddress (or even a byte array)
                 Key: HTTPCORE-344
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCORE-344
             Project: HttpComponents HttpCore
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: HttpCore
    Affects Versions: 4.3-beta2
            Reporter: Sebastiano Vigna
            Priority: Minor


HttpHost provides String-based constructors that make it possible to create host given the IP address, e.g., new HttpHost("1.2.3.4"). Browsing the documentation this is not immediately evident, as the String parameter is called "hostname". Adding a constructor taking an InetAddress, or even another constructor using a byte array containing a raw address, would make it evident to someone browsing the available methods that an HttpHost instance can be built using an IP address.
