Roland Weber commented on HTTPCLIENT-634:
-----------------------------------------
HttpClient has been working that way since the 2.0 days. It has been
re-iterated time and again, even as recently as two weeks ago with Sebastian:

I am not in favor of changing the behavior that late in the release cycle.
Different SSL connection algorithms can be used by aliasing the protocol, or am
I wrong there?
We could move the HostConfiguration update code of the HttpClient class to a
dedicated protected method. That would make it easy to override without
changing the default behavior.
cheers,

> Key: HTTPCLIENT-634
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-634
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HttpClient
> Affects Versions: Nightly Builds
> Environment: Windows, Eclipse, Java 1.5
> Reporter: John Kristian
> Attachments: HostConfiguration.patch
>
>
> HostConfiguration doesn't use its host.protocol to execute an HttpMethod with
> an absolute URL. It should, if the Protocol's scheme is the same as the
> method's URL scheme.
> This bug makes it difficult to integrate a specialized SSL connection
> algorithm (in a SecureProtocolSocketFactory) with a module implemented on top
> of HttpClient. The latter module must not execute methods with absolute
> URLs. Of course, this is difficult when one doesn't control that module.
> For example, I recently tried to integrate SSL certificate-based client
> authentication with XFire. XFire provides a reasonable API for replacing its
> HttpClient, but one must hack its source code to prevent it from executing
> methods with absolute URLs.
> Protocol.registerProtocol is a possible answer, but it can't support two or
> more SSL connection algorithms for one HTTPS host and port.
