Chris,
I have to agree with Odi. The proposed functionality is not generic enough, can be 
(more or less) easily implemented on top of the standard HttpClient and therefore does 
not really warrant in my opinion an inclusion into the main code tree.

Chris,

Thanks for posting. However I really don't see why this should be a 
responsibility of HttpClient. The user can always discard the rest of a 
response if he wants to. I my eyes you are solving the problem at too 
low a level. The only problem that arises is with endless streams, since 
HttpClient always tries to consume the input stream until the end. The 
only thing you need is a way to forcibly end a connection.

Odi
