Roland Weber commented on HTTPCORE-139:
---------------------------------------
I don't think it addressed all the cases where it is or might be necessary. I
was just addressing the most obvious ones, hoping to avoid implementing more
complex ones like NO_INET_ADDRESS to unset the LOCAL_ADDRESS parameter. I
consider the technique of creating invalid objects to represent NULL a hack,
and it cannot even be used for elementary types where every possible value is
valid. How do you unset a String?
Have you taken a look at the NO_HOST object in HttpClient? If we ever added
basic sanity checks to HttpHost, it would have to be changed. And as soon as it
is changed, we run into version compatibility problems.
cheers,
Roland
