Sebb reopened HTTPCLIENT-911:
-----------------------------
Current code does not work if there is a colon in the path but no colon in the
host part.
This appears to have been caused by the following change:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/httpcomponents/httpclient/trunk/httpclient/src/main/java/org/apache/http/impl/client/AbstractHttpClient.java?r1=980937&r2=980936&pathrev=980937
which was presumably intended to improve underscore support?
The method currently has no unit tests - previously it was simple enough not to
need them, but now I think they are needed.
This requires changing the method from private to package-protected - which
should not cause any problems as the method does not change any external fields.
> Support underscore in domain name, or provide better exception

> 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.
