Description

Uaa curl does not work with any host but the targeted UAA.

uaac curl https://not-uaa-host.example.com is handy with workflows where you use uaa to grab a bearer token and then issue curl requests that utilize that token. For example https://docs.pivotal.io/platform/healthwatch/1-8/api/free-chunks.html#get

Here's a sample that doesn't work so well

$ uaa curl https://healthwatch-api.sys.example.com/v1/info -v

GET /https:/healthwatch-api.sys.example.com/v1/info HTTP/1.1
Host: login.sys.example.com
Authorization: Bearer abcd

Research direction

Start from the uaac curl command entry point and reproduce the request shown in the issue with a non-UAA host. Trace how the target URL is converted into the request path and Host header; done means the full external URL is requested while the bearer token is still supplied.
