Resolution: Not A Problem

> Key: HTTPCORE-516
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCORE-516
> Project: HttpComponents HttpCore
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: HttpCore
> Reporter: Viktor Chmel
> Priority: Major
>
> *Introduction*
> After updating one (Serivce-A) of our Web services to Tomcat 8.5 we realised that HTTP Status header changed according to RFC 7230
> _RFC 7230 states that clients should ignore reason phrases in HTTP/1.1 response messages. Since the reason phrase is optional, Tomcat no longer sends it. As a result the system property org.apache.coyote.USE_CUSTOM_STATUS_MSG_IN_HEADER is no longer used and has been removed._ "
> Some temporary workaround exists (set [deprecated option sendReasonPhrase to true|https://tomcat.apache.org/migration-85.html#HTTP_connector_changes]), but it will be impossible in tomcat 9.
> *Problem*
> Ok, what about HttpCore?
> Another our service (Service-B) use [HttpStatus |https://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-core-ga/httpcore/apidocs/org/apache/http/HttpStatus.html]lib and its constants like SC_OK to assert response from Service-A. And after updating to tomcat 8.5 it became to fail assertion every time. Why? Now SC_OK = "200 OK", but according to RFC 7230 must be just "200". The same issue with another status constans.
> I`m not expert in you library, but smth must be done to support new standard from one hand and to support legacy http servers from another.
