Sebb commented on HTTPCLIENT-911:
---------------------------------
OK, I'll remove it.
It looks as though getAuthority() can be used even if the host part contains an
underscore.
So one approach might be to use getHost() as before; if that returns null, then
use getAuthority(), and strip off up to the "@" if present.
At least if we use getHost() when we can, there will be fewer chances of bugs...
> 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.
