I agree with this sentiment.  The intent of the 1.x branch is to provide API
stability for those already using httpclient.  Adjusting functionality to be
more spec compliant is not a new feature, so should be completly allowed
within the 1.x branch.  I am about to give up on this issue.  We can help
both sides out.  I too vote -1 if this is the case.
