I haven't got my head around the new API yet - this is just a preliminary
comment.
It is a bit of a change around authentication but I think it is the right
thing to do. It seems to me that the only other choice is not to migrate to
the new API which over time will become a nuisance.
Documenting the migration (for the release notes) will be helpful - maybe
an example for user/password in the HttpOp class javadoc. If someone can grok
that, they can see how to migrate their own code.
One thought - it looks like the new style is to treat `CloseableHttpClient`
as a one time use object. That means a try-resource in `HttpOp.exec`. I'm not
sure how widespread this is. `getDefaultHttpClient` `setDefaultHttpClient`
should be changed to be a `HttpClientBuilder`?
