[jira] [Created] (HTTPCLIENT-1358) MainClientExec Does Too Much

James Leigh created HTTPCLIENT-1358:
---------------------------------------

             Summary: MainClientExec Does Too Much
                 Key: HTTPCLIENT-1358
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1358
             Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: HttpClient
    Affects Versions: 4.3 Beta1
            Reporter: James Leigh
            Priority: Trivial
             Fix For: 4.3 Beta2


MainClientExec directs the route, establishes connections, handles target authentication and handles proxy authentication. It is involved with both the connection/route management and the authentication semantics.

It is currently too hard to intercept/handle httpclient requests without serializing them in a socket first. If the authentication was handled in a different class, then the connection route/timeout management, it would be easier to provide custom handling on the client side using the complete request (including auth headers).
