Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPCLIENT-911:
----------------------------------------------

Are you sure this has anything to do with the underscore in domain name? The 
following test throws a UnknownHostException for me:
---
HttpHost targetHost = new HttpHost("www.what_ever.com", 80, "http"); 
DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
BasicHttpContext localcontext = new BasicHttpContext();

HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet("/");
HttpResponse response = httpclient.execute(targetHost, httpget, localcontext);

System.out.println(response.getStatusLine());

HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
if (entity != null) {
    entity.consumeContent();
}
---

Exception in thread "main" java.net.UnknownHostException: www.what_ever.com
        at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connect(PlainSocketImpl.java:177)
        at java.net.SocksSocketImpl.connect(SocksSocketImpl.java:366)
        at java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:520)
        at 
org.apache.http.conn.scheme.PlainSocketFactory.connectSocket(PlainSocketFactory.java:123)
---

I suspect you may be trying to execute a request with a relative request URI, 
in which case the IllegalArgumentException you are getting seems reasonable.
