Hello, I have an issue when using the HTTP Client to send requests to a (full custom) HTTP server. I use roughly the following code to generate the request:
client = new Client(Protocol.HTTP); request = new Request(Method.POST, "http://example.com:5000/";); someForm = new Form(); /* add some stuff to the form ... */ request.setEntity(someForm.getWebRepresentation(CharacterSet.ISO_8859_1)); response = client.handle(request); /* ... */ Using Restlet 1.1.10, this will send the following request to the server (seen through Wireshark): POST http://example.com:5000/ HTTP/1.1 Host: example.com:5000 User-Agent: Noelios-Restlet-Engine/1.1.10 Accept: */* Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Length: 40 Connection: close nickname=*foo*&detail=2&connectlist=json I'm running into trouble because of the request (first) line, which contains the full host/port/path combo instead of just the absolute path. The server I'm talking to (which is not under my control) does not like to see the host duplicated there. If I understand the relevane section from RFC2616 correctly, the server should be able to deal with that request, but Restlet should not have generated it that way in the first place: > http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec5.html#sec5.1.2 <quote> To allow for transition to absoluteURIs in all requests in future versions of HTTP, all HTTP/1.1 servers MUST accept the absoluteURI form in requests, even though HTTP/1.1 clients will only generate them in requests to proxies. </quote> Any thoughts on this? -Matthias ------------------------------------------------------ http://restlet.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=4447&dsMessageId=2637045
