URI - getHost returns null. Why?

Question

Why is the 1st one returning null, while the 2nd one is returning mail.yahoo.com?

Isn\'t this weird? If not, what\'s the logic behind this

Answer 1

It's because of underscore in base uri. Just Remove underscore to check that out.It's working.

Like given below :

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
java.net.URI uri = new java.net.URI("http://brokenarrow.huntingtonhelps.com");
String host = uri.getHost();
System.out.println("Host = [" + host + "].");

uri = new java.net.URI("http://mail.yahoo.com");
host = uri.getHost();
System.out.println("Host = [" + host + "].");

}
