RE: RFE: Method to return an InputStream that includes both HTTP headers and HTTP body

[Adrian Sutton <ad...@ephox.com>]

To achieve this, wouldn't HttpClient have to reconstruct the headers in a
fact input stream just like Jesus was originally doing?

I mean, we *have* to read the headers to handle redirects so we can't just
return the original stream.  It seems like this may as well be done outside
of HttpClient, but maybe I'm missing something.  Definitely a good addition
to the HttpClient utility code page though.

Definitely ... unless of course setFollowRedirect() is set to false.
