Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPCLIENT-1513:
-----------------------------------------------

Just out of curiosity If you do not want port in the request URI why do you put 
it there in the first place? 

Besides, one can already customize the way Host request header is generated by 
replacing RequestTargetHost interceptor with a custom one or by adding another 
interceptor to rewrite the value generated by the framework.

> Trim default ports (80 and 443) in host header

> When a HTTP request is made using HTTP components and the request url 
> contains a default port (80 for http and 443 for https)
> http://example.com:80/something
> https://example.com:443/something
> Seems like the host header is taken from the URL authority(host:port) part. 
> There by the host header includes the ports 80 and 443. According to HTTP 
> spec if no port is specified in the host header it defaults 80 or 443 (based 
> on http or https).
> When i am accessing maps.googleapi.com if the host header contains the 
> default port 443 the server is rejecting the request. I  understand that the 
> server should accept such host headers. But still it will be good if we can 
> trim out the default ports or at least provide a property to trim out default 
> ports.
