Description Joakim Erdfelt CLA 2011-08-02 12:58:50 EDT 
When working with complex URI's, it is not a good idea to keep translating back and forth between URI and string and back again, especially if we already have a good java.net.URI object and just want the HttpClient to just use it.

Requesting a HttpClient.setURI(URI) method to prevent this needless (and fragile) String <-> URI translation step.
Comment 1 Greg Wilkins CLA 2011-08-25 00:25:21 EDT 
Why does HttpClient need a setURI?    The URI is a property of an HttpExchange not the client.

Happy to avoid converting to/from URI's but don't see the need on this class.
Comment 2 Joakim Erdfelt CLA 2011-08-25 12:13:37 EDT 
You are correct, HttpExchange.setURI(URI) is the best place for that.
