Support the CONNECT method described in RFC 2616
------------------------------------------------
Key: HTTPCORE-224
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCORE-224
Project: HttpComponents HttpCore
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: HttpCore
Affects Versions: 4.1-beta1, 4.1-alpha1, 4.0.1, 4.0.2, 4.1, Future
Environment: n/a
Reporter: Brad Davis
Priority: Minor
I'm writing a simple HTTP proxy into an implementation of the TOR protocol,
using HTTP Components to parse and write requests. However, SSL over HTTP
proxy requires the CONNECT verb. When encountering the CONNECT verb the
DefaultHttpRequestFactory provided by HC will throw an exception, even though
for the purposes of my app, all it has to do is parse the request. I don't see
any reason code that is parsing an incoming http request should throw an
exception on a well defined HTTP method even if no other part of HC is designed
to support it, its needless early failure. A fix could easily be applied by
adding "CONNECT" to the list of strings defined in
DefaultHttpRequestFactory.RFC2616_SPECIAL_METHODS
