url field of the request is not set on the service side

[findmyway]

MWE:

using HTTP
function handle(req)
    HTTP.Response(200, string(req.url))
end

router = HTTP.Router()
HTTP.register!(router, "/", handle)
server = HTTP.serve!(router, "127.0.0.1", 8122)

HTTP.get("http://127.0.0.1:8122") # empty result

Hi Jun, I also stumbled upon this, concretely in Pluto - when adding query params to the url, they don't appear in the url but in the req.target field. I guess it is related to your MWE.

At least this means the documentation is wrong, it states url::URI, the full URI of the request, or it is a bug.

This looks crucial - @quinnj can you take a look?

HTTP.jl/src/Handlers.jl

Line 391 in 5cd586d

url = URI(req.target)

Indeed, it's also used in the source code.
