Bronislav Gabrhelík commented on HTTPCLIENT-1291:
-------------------------------------------------
I can confirm that I can use URI w/o path specified + proxy with the following
HttpClient:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpcomponents/httpclient/branches/4.2.x
r1430006
> The HttpGet() and likely other method objects should accept only absoluteURI
> with path specified

> Key: HTTPCLIENT-1291
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1291
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HttpClient
> Affects Versions: 4.2.2
> Environment: JRE 1.6.23, Windows 7
> Reporter: Bronislav Gabrhelík
> Fix For: 4.2.3
>

> Current HttpGet ctor accepts the absoluteURI without specified path i.e.
> just with schema & authority specified. It is somehow handled in the client
> (on different layer) so request GET is sent with the absolute root path
> specified. e.g. "GET / HTTP/1.1". The problem is that the HttpGet()
> constructed by that way doesn't work when the HttpClient is configured with
> the HTTP proxy. In that case is generated GET request with absolute URI but
> without the ending slash. e.g "GET http://www.apache.org HTTP/1.1". This is
> an inconsistent behavior.
> Expected behavior:
> I would suggest that the API is more strict and throws some exception when
> URI is incorrect. The API is not the edit box of the browser which must be
> tollerant to the user input. The GET method doesn't make sense with the path
> unspecified, so at least one slash should be specified in URI argument. This
> issue concerns also other method objects like HttpPut(), HttpDelete(), etc. I
> don't think it is a general rule to be applied into HttpUriRequest, but maybe
> I am wrong.
> e.g.
> {code}
> HttpGet req = new HttpGet("http://www.apache.org";); // this URI is wrong
> HttpGet req = new HttpGet("http://www.apache.org/";); // URI is O.K.
> {code}
