I chose an IP address for the host to make sure that there will be no DNS lookup (though there might still be a reverse lookup). Can we rely on an exception being triggered for an empty string? And can we rely on ourselves not adding empty string checks to the HttpHost constructor? -1 is a magic number used in HttpHost, I wanted to avoid that. I also want to be able to identify NO_HOST when it appears in debug output, which is easier if the attributes are not empty. cheers, Roland --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
