Nicolas Richeton commented on HTTPCLIENT-1282:
----------------------------------------------
On HTTPCLIENT-1092, it seems like a convention for creating HttpHost more
easily, but in the other side this convention does not work for all use cases.
Basically, our usecase is a reverse proxy : we have a single target host
defined (localhost or a remote IP), we receive requests and forward the Host
header included in requests to requests made using HttpClient.
If virtual host parameter is removed, we could add a Host header directly (we
were doing this before) BUT this interact with cookie management as HttpClient
only uses target host and virtual host parameter to validate cookie domain and
not the Host header. As a result cookies get discarded because domains don't
match.
In that case, maybe we could let the existing code untouched in 4.2.X (and not
use it until it disappears) and fix cookie validation using the Host parameter ?

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1282
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HttpClient
> Affects Versions: 4.2.2, 4.2.3
> Reporter: Nicolas Richeton
>
> The following change automatically adds a port to the provided virtual host :
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1092
> This is an issue, because you can no longer use a virtual host with default
> port, but web applications often fixes urls by redirecting to the canonical
> url (which does not include port). It makes impossible to reach page content
> as we are getting only redirects.
> This would need to revert this update.
