Description

When using the DecompressingHttpClient on a https host, if the client is executed with "execute(HttpUriRequest request, HttpContext context)" or any other execute method that do not provide the HttpHost target, the target is generated from the getHttpHost method.

Problem in this method is that uri.getAuthority() may not contain scheme, nor port. So this results in issuing https queries to port 80.
