             Summary: Using a HttpRequest that is not an HttpUriRequest when host in URI is not target host results in an invalid request
                 Key: HTTPCLIENT-1325
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1325
             Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: HttpClient
    Affects Versions: 4.3 Alpha1
            Reporter: Francois-Xavier Bonnet


Using the following code:
        CloseableHttpClient httpClient = HttpClientBuilder.create().build();
        HttpHost httpHost = new HttpHost("127.0.0.1", 80, "http");
        HttpRequest request = new BasicHttpRequest("GET", "http://www.foo.com/test");
        httpClient.execute(httpHost, request);

HttpClient sends this request:
        GET http://www.foo.com/test HTTP/1.1
        Host: 127.0.0.1:80
        Connection: Keep-Alive
        User-Agent: Apache-HttpClient/4.3-alpha2-SNAPSHOT (java 1.5)
        Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate

The host header is not consistent with the request URI. This is due to org.apache.http.impl.execchain.ProtocolExec:

        HttpHost target = null;
        if (virtualHost != null) {
            target = virtualHost;
        } else {
            final HttpRequest original = request.getOriginal();
            if (original instanceof HttpUriRequest) {
                final URI uri = ((HttpUriRequest) original).getURI();
                if (uri.isAbsolute()) {
                    target = new HttpHost(uri.getHost(), uri.getPort(), uri.getScheme());
                }
            }
        }
        if (target == null) {
            target = route.getTargetHost();
        }

So for a HttpUriRequest the host is taken from the URI but for other requests it is taken from the target server.
I think it should be taken from the target server only if it cannot be determined from the URI (non-absolute URI).

I will fix this.
