Oleg Kalnichevski resolved HTTPCLIENT-1666.
-------------------------------------------
    Resolution: Won't Fix

HTTP specification does not impose any restrictions on length of content entity enclosed in HTTP messages. It is a responsibility of the application layer to ensure that content stream is valid. One can abort request execution from an observer thread after a particular deadline or close the response after exceeding a particular max length limit.

> HttpClient wont give up on a request despite the server sending bad data and connection/connectionrequest/socket timeouts being specified.
> If a server periodically sends data like a newline to httpclient, then httpclient will just continue to block.
> Code demonstrating the issue:
> https://gist.github.com/magJ/f4cfc650658ea29b1b26
> There should be a way of setting a timeout for how long httpclient should attempt to make a request before giving up.
