[issue3094] By default, HTTPSConnection should send header "Host: somehost" instead of "Host: somehost:443"

[Senthil]

Senthil <orsenthil at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

The HTTPSConnection class derives from HTTPConnection and the methods in
the HTTPConnection assume that 1) It is either over the default HTTP
port or 2) Over a different port (be it different HTTP port(8080?) or
443 for HTTPS etc) and in that case it sends the port along in the
request header. Thats it. So, there is no bug here.

Morever, RFC 2818 states that, for HTTPS default port is 443, but the
implementation are free to choose any other ports over TLS as well.

Invalid bug can be closed.

Thanks.
