Ram commented on HTTPCLIENT-1682:
---------------------------------
The port addition is done by the default HttpRoutePlanner.
> HttpClient should allow NO port
> -------------------------------

> Key: HTTPCLIENT-1682
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1682
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: HttpClient
> Reporter: Nathan Hazout
>
> I've noticed that the CNN RSS (rss.cnn.com/rss/edition.rss) worked on some
> applications but not on mine.
> Looking deeper, I saw that CNN rejects HTTP requests with
> Host: rss.cnn.com:80
> But accepts requests with
> Host: rss.cnn.com
> Even though 80 is the default port, it only accepts requests with NO port.
> According to the HTTP standards, this is a valid request (even if, granted,
> strange). Also, I've noticed that major browsers (tested on chrome) strip out
> the port from the request when it is 80.
> However, using HttpClient, setting no port still forces port 80 into the
> headers.
> Shouldn't HttpClient let the developer set no port all all?
> I'm not saying to automatically strip out the port like Chrome does, but
> maybe let the developer decide - if he sets no port, then don't set a port
> for him automatically?
