Description

Trying to configure an endpoint like

http4://http.org

where the hostname starts with the characters "http" leads to an URISyntaxException "Expected scheme-specific part at index http4:"

This behaviour is caused by the following lines in camel-http4's HttpComponent (around line 211):

        // need to set scheme on address uri depending on if its secure or not
        String addressUri = remaining.startsWith("http") ? remaining : null;

In our case, the hostname is not prefixed with http:// or https:// which leads to the mentioned exception.

The code in question was introduced within CAMEL-6880. I'm not shure why the variable remaining is checked for a protocol prefix as it already comes without one. Setting

        String addressUri == null;

would solve the problem and does not break any test.
