                 Key: HTTPCORE-91
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCORE-91
             Project: HttpComponents Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: HttpCore
    Affects Versions: 4.0-alpha5
            Reporter: Roland Weber
            Assignee: Roland Weber
            Priority: Trivial
             Fix For: 4.0-beta1


Class org.apache.http.protocol.HTTP defines some constants with inappropriate 
names:

    public static final String DATE_DIRECTIVE = "Date";
    public static final String SERVER_DIRECTIVE = "Server";

neither of these is a "directive" in any way. They are plain, informational 
headers.

    public static final String EXPECT_DIRECTIVE = "Expect";
    public static final String CONN_DIRECTIVE = "Connection";

While these are not termed "directive" in RFC 2616, they do have that character.

I suggest to rename DATE_DIRECTIVE and SERVER_DIRECTIVE to *_HEADER or *_INFO.
Within core, this would affect o.a.h.protocol, related tests, and NIO example 
NHttpReverseProxy.

cheers,
  Roland
