Sebb commented on HTTPCLIENT-834:
---------------------------------

Re: constants - one approach I've used is to define the constants in an 
interface, but also create a class that implements the interface.

Also, in Java 1.5 one can use import static from the constant class.

I think constants in interfaces are bad, unless the constant is inherently 
associated with the methods in the interface.

> 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.
