Roland Weber commented on HTTPCLIENT-679:
-----------------------------------------
Actually, the suggested change has potential to break existing applications
that rely on the current behavior. We can't introduce such changes between RC1
and final, unless there would be an easy way to switch back to the current
behavior.
cheers,

> URI Absolutization does not follow browser behavior
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HTTPCLIENT-679
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-679
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: HttpClient
> Affects Versions: 3.1 RC1
> Environment: HttpClient 3.1 RC1,
> JDK 1.6.0
> Ubuntu 7.04
> Reporter: Jeff Dalton
>
> 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.
