Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPCLIENT-834:
----------------------------------------------
> TODOs I've found relate to adding support for compress Content-Encoding
If you think compress is completely useless, we still have to make sure
HttpClient reacts intelligently when encounters compress coded content, for
instance by throwing an exception
> The request / response interceptors currently set a flag in the context to
> show whether the response should be processed.
> Should that aspect be retained if I split them out?
I _personally_ do not think the flag is necessary anymore, but I do not want to
impose a particular way of doing things onto you
> Also, should ClientContext be a class rather than an interface? It just
> contains constants, rather than defining any sort of abstraction.
Roland (who is no longer involved in the project) had a tendency to prefer
interfaces over classes for defining constants, mainly because of support for
multiple inheritance. Now it is too late.

> I would like to see HttpClient features brought up to parity with other
> libraries, both in Java and other languages. c.f. Python's httplib2 (not yet
> in the standard library, but many would like to see it in there). That
> library transparently handles gzip and compress content codings.
> This issue is to capture possible solutions to providing this sort of innate
> functionality in HttpClient, so that users aren't required to know RFC2616
> intimately. The HttpClient library should do the right thing and use the
> network in the most efficient manner possible.
