Oleg Kalnichevski resolved HTTPCLIENT-679.
------------------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

Jeff, Gordon,

URI class in HttpClient 3.x is a complete mess none of the existing committers 
would touch even with a barge pole. This class has been replaced with the 
standard java.net.URI class in HttpClient 4.0. If you are prepared to 
contribute a fix for the problem I'll happily review it and check it to the 
repository, but I seriously doubt any of us would be willing to invest any time 
into fixing old URI code in HttpClient 3.x.

>    Affects Versions: 3.1 RC1

> Ubuntu 7.04

> This was encountered using Heritrix to crawl a prominent website.
> The URI resulting from the HttpClient URI constructor (base, relative) does 
> not follow browser behavior:
> URI newUrl = new URI(new 
> URI("http://www.theirwebsite.com/browse/results?type=browse&att=1";), 
> "?sort=0&offset=11&pageSize=10")
> Results in newUrl:
> http://www.theirwebsite.com/browse/?sort=0&offset=11&pageSize=10
> The desired behavior based on Firefox and IE should be:
> http://www.theirwebsite.com/browse/results?sort=0&offset=11&pageSize=10
> These browsers treat the question mark similar to a directory separator and 
> do not require a file to be specified before the query.
> HttpClient's current behavior does not correspond to current browser behavior 
> and leads to an inability to crawl certain websites if HttpClient's URI class 
> is used.
