BinHTTPURLInputStream has weak HTTP request capabilities

           Summary: BinHTTPURLInputStream has weak HTTP request capabilities
           Product: Xerces-C++
           Version: 1.5.1
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows NT/2K
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Utilities
        AssignedTo: xerces-c-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: khausam@wurldmedia.com


Looking at constructor code of BinHTTPURLInputStream. Code does not support 
query strings on URL parameter. urlSource.fQuery is presumably available in 
constructor method, but is ignored by the code that constructs the GET request. 
Comment in code states:

    // To do:  We should really support http 1.1.  This implementation
    //         is weak.

I don't know if appending a query string falls under http 1.1, but it seems 
like it certainly should be supported. Before I go hacking and slashing through 
the code, curious if there are more robust implementations available or if the 
idea of requesting an XML document by http URL is not intended to be well 
supported.

Sorry for the post here but wasn't sure where else to post this enhancement 
request.
