Support underscore in domain name, or provide better exception

                 Key: HTTPCLIENT-911
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-911
             Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: HttpClient
    Affects Versions: 4.0.1
            Reporter: Ziv Horesh



When calling on HttpClient.execute with a url that contain underscore ('_'), 
you get NullPointerException.
Tracing it down show that java.net.Uri complains that it is illegal name. Which 
is true according to the RFC.
But it seems that most browser allow it, and some companies support it.

I think HttpClient should either support underscores, or atleast provide a 
better exception.
