[coverage] Conformance findings: AUTH-012

Comece em thrift_backend.py e compare o tratamento do esquema do host com common/url_utils.py::normalize_host_with_protocol. Revise o teste xfail test_explicit_tls_opt_out_connects_over_plaintext_http no coverage PR e, em seguida, verifique o contrato esperado: um http:// explícito conecta-se por HTTP em texto simples, enquanto configurações TLS omitidas ou inválidas e um host https:// explícito não o fazem.

Summary

Surfaced by the multi-language coverage fan-out while conformance-testing these SPEC-IDs against databricks/databricks-sql-python. Each finding is committed as an expected-failure (xfail) test in the coverage PR — the test asserts the CORRECT (post-fix) behavior and stays red until THIS driver (databricks/databricks-sql-python) is fixed, then flips green as a tripwire.

Findings

• AUTH-012 [thrift]: Thrift backend silently forces https:// onto an explicit http:// server_hostname (thrift_backend.py prepends "https://" unless the composed URI already starts with it, yielding https://http://host:port/...), so the explicit plaintext opt-out is never honoured and the cleartext endpoint is never dialed; contradicts common/url_utils.py::normalize_host_with_protocol, which preserves an explicit http:// host. Kernel/SEA honours it correctly.
  • failing test: test_explicit_tls_opt_out_connects_over_plaintext_http (see the coverage PR diff under tests/)
• AUTH-012: Thrift backend silently forces https:// onto an explicit http:// server_hostname (thrift_backend.py prepends "https://" unless the composed URI already starts with it, yielding https://http://host:port/...), so an explicit plaintext opt-out is never honoured and the cleartext endpoint is never dialed — contradicting common/url_utils.py::normalize_host_with_protocol, which documents that an explicit http:// host is preserved. The kernel/SEA backend honours it correctly.

Reproduce & Expected

AUTH-012 — Verifies the transport-scheme contract for an EXPLICIT TLS opt-out, and that TLS is never downgraded without one.

Reproduce:

• Local cleartext HTTP listener recording every request it receives.
• Host = the plaintext listener's host, port = its port, TLS-disable option = canonical
  falsy value (ODBC SSL=0). Attempt to open a session.
• Same target, TLS-disable option OMITTED entirely.
• Same target, TLS-disable option set to a non-canonical value (e.g. ture).
• Host given WITH an explicit https:// scheme, TLS-disable option set falsy.

Expected (per the shared spec):

• full assertion contract:

result:
- label: explicit_opt_out
  no_unsupported_option_error: true
- label: explicit_opt_out
  plaintext_session_open_request_count: 1
- label: tls_default_absent
  plaintext_session_open_request_count: 0
- label: tls_default_typo
  plaintext_session_open_request_count: 0
- label: explicit_https_host_wins
  plaintext_session_open_request_count: 0

Context

• The behavior was first fixed in a DIFFERENT driver — reference PR: https://github.com/databricks/databricks-odbc/pull/193 — which seeded the shared language-neutral spec. This issue tracks the same conformance gap in databricks/databricks-sql-python; the reference PR is for cross-referencing the intended behavior, NOT a change to this repo.
• Coverage PR carrying the reproducing xfail test(s): https://github.com/databricks/databricks-driver-test/pull/1143
