Every connection is made based on a HostConfiguration, which tells
HttpClient what proxy to use or what local address. Also, you can
create a method with a relativ URL that doesn't specify the host.
The HostConfiguration in the HttpClient is the default host config
for relative URLs.

hope that helps,
