[HttpClient] Support for stateful / user specific connections

[Oleg Kalnichevski <ol...@apache.org>]

Folks,

I finally resolved a looooong standing problem with HttpClient not
taking into account the user context when pooling / re-using
connections. HttpClient should now be able to correctly handle
stateful / user specific connections such as persistent NTLM connections
and SSL connections with client side authentication.

As far as I can tell that was the very last fundamental architectural
problem inherited from HttpClient 1.x / 2.x / 3.x days. All big stuff is
now done.

Instructions how to enable NTLM in HttpClient 4.0 can be found here

http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client/ntlm.html

Go ahead and try it out. Please do feel free to review / amend NTLM
guide.

Cheers

Evil Comrade Oleg
