This PR includes a bugfix which breaks signing any requests that are sent to a non-default port.
Problem:
There's a mismatch between the host header used for signing vs. the actual request header when connecting to non-default ports.
• During signing: The host header includes port (from URI netloc) and gets added to signed headers. The header does not get added to the final request.
• During request creation: The host header excludes port (from URI host) if not already present.
• Result: The request is signed with
example.com:8080but sent with the host header having a value ofexample.com. This creates a signature validation issue server-side.Solution:
This PR updates the CRT client to use netloc, similar to the signer. These values should always match if a given HTTP client is compliant with the HTTP RFCs.
