Evolution and/or libCamel are constructing the HTTP request incorrectly when loading images.

The following HTML e-mail excerpt (from a PS3-related e-mail):
  <img src="http://images.innovyx.net/dp/scea/ps3news/012309/i/ftr/ps3n0608_verytop.jpg" width="121" height="10" border="0" />

...is generating the following HTTP request (captured from Wireshark):
GET http://images.innovyx.net/dp/scea/ps3news/012309/i/ftr/ps3n0608_verytop.jpg HTTP/1.0

User-Agent: CamelHttpStream/1.0 Evolution/2.24.3

Host: images.innovyx.net

Notice that the entire URL (the absoluteURI - http://images.innovyx.net/dp/scea/ps3news/012309/i/ftr/ps3n0608_verytop.jpg) is included the as the Request-URI, rather than just the absolute path (abs_path).

This request is NOT being made to a proxy server, so according to the HTTP/1.0 protocol (http://www.w3.org/Protocols/HTTP/1.0/draft-ietf-http-spec.html#Request-Line), the Request-URI should be an absolute path.

The web server in this request doesn't understand the request and therefore gives an HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Request.

The HTTP request should only send the absolute path when a proxy server is not being used. For some sites, this appears to work, but for others it doesn't.

I'm guessing this is a bug in libCamel, since it should know that a proxy server is not being used and construct the request line properly.

This is on:
Release: Ubuntu 8.10
evolution: 2.24.3-0ubuntu1
evolution-data-server: 2.24.3-0ubuntu1
