Yes, the current constructors still exist, and if the TTL argument is not 
provided than it will be set to -1, representing "forever."  Existing 
functionality will not be effected- not providing the TTL argument should 
produce the same expected behavior.

> Provide a means of configuring a maximum lifetime for HttpClient connections. 
>  Currently, it would appear as long as a connection is used it may persist 
> indefinitely.
> This would be useful for situations where HttpClient needs to react to DNS 
> changes, such as the following situation that may occur when using DNS load 
> balancing:
>  - HttpClient maintains connections to example.com which resolves to IP A
>  - Machine at IP A fails, and example.com now resolves to backup machine at 
> IP B
>  - Since IP A is failing, connections are destroyed, and new connections are 
> made to IP B
>  - Machine at IP A recovers, but HttpClient maintains connections to IP B 
> since the connections are still healthy
> The desired behavior would be that connections to IP B will reach their 
> connection lifetime, and new connections could be created back to IP A 
> according to the updated DNS settings.
