Oleg Kalnichevski updated HTTPCLIENT-929:
-----------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 4.1 Alpha2
> When a request is made, the DefaultRequestDirector invokes
> rewriteRequestURI().
> I don't fully understand why this method does what it does
DefaultRequestDirector rewrites the request URI in order to comply with the
requirements of the RFC 2626
---
5.1.2 Request-URI
...
The most common form of Request-URI is that used to identify a
resource on an origin server or gateway. In this case the absolute
path of the URI MUST be transmitted (see section 3.2.1, abs_path) as
the Request-URI, and the network location of the URI (authority) MUST
be transmitted in a Host header field. For example, a client wishing
to retrieve the resource above directly from the origin server would
create a TCP connection to port 80 of the host "www.w3.org" and send
the lines:
GET /pub/WWW/TheProject.html HTTP/1.1
Host: www.w3.org
---
The only thing that can be done about this problem is replacing multiple "/" in
the abs_path with a single one.
Would that solve the problem for you?

> The following code demonstrates the problem:
> DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
> client.execute(new HttpGet("http://www.google.com//";));
> When a request is made, the DefaultRequestDirector invokes
> rewriteRequestURI(). I don't fully understand why this method does what it
> does. For a non-proxied request, it attempts to render the URI to a relative
> URI. In doing so, it tries to create a relative URI whose content is "//".
> Per RFC 2396 section 5 (Relative URI References), a relative URI that begins
> with "//" is a network-path reference, and the "//" must be immediately
> followed by an authority. Therefore, while "http://www.google.com//"; is a
> valid absolute URI, "//" is not a valid relative one. The resulting exception:
