Roland Weber commented on HTTPCLIENT-727:
-----------------------------------------
Hello Marc,
that argument to the constructor is _not_ just a path. You are calling a
constructor that expects a _URI_ string as argument, which may or may not have
a host section. That string gets parsed by the constructor, according to the
rules of some RFC.
The URI string you are giving to the constructor starts with //. That tells the
parser that there is no scheme (protocol), but there is a host. Compare these
two examples:
//hc.apache.org/index.html
//js/includes/foo.js
Do you see the problem now? If you want just a path, then make sure that the
argument you are passing to the constructor starts with a _single_ slash, since
that indicates the start of the path.
The example http://my.site//foo/bla.html should work with HttpClient's URI
class, too. There is a scheme (protocol) "http", followed by a colon and the //
that indicates the host section. The first / after the host section starts the
path. Everything's peachy. Just don't omit the part before //foo.
Browser to all kinds of stuff to handle broken input and guess something useful
from it. HttpClient is not a browser:
http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-httpclient/ForAbsoluteBeginners#head-a110969063be34fcd964aeba55ae23bea12ac232
HttpClient 4.0 uses the java.net.URI class, where bugs can be reported to Sun.
You'll find that this class also interprets a leading // as the start of the
host section, because that's what the RFC says.
hope this helps,
Roland
