http alternateConnectionFactory

It seems that the "alternateConnectionFactory" is used to override the 
HTTPTransportFactory, getConnectionFactory(config.getSslClient()) when a 
"connectionFactory" element is supplied in a particular HTTPConduit 
constructor.

However, I don't see a pertinent use for this particular constructor 
anywhere. Is the alternateConnectionFactory variable a historical item 
in which its need has possibly been transcended?


Cheers,

This is used for unit testing, so as to replace the real
URLConnectionFactory with a mocked up version.

Similarly for the alternate ServerEngine on the JettyHTTPDestination.
