Hi Sebastian
I could find any passage in javadocs or tutorial stating such
requirement. As far as I remember request URIs can be either absolute or
relative. In case of a relative request URI HttpClient attempts to
determine the target host based on request parameters. In case of a
absolute request URI HttpClient rewrites the request URI as relative and
adds a 'Host' header containing the target host.
