Admittedly, it's not a common scenario. I want to add conditional logic to the process method so that only some types of requests are modified. The underlying reason for this has to do with the nature of my project, which is a security testing tool. Most requests are handled normally, but some need to be crafted in a specific manner, without interceptor modification (the host header is a good example).
Hmm... As I'm typing this, I an idea came to me. Originally, I had dismissed using a separate client class because it would be difficult to tie the connection limits together. What just occurred to me (duh), is that the connection manager is a separate object. The second client class wouldn't use any request interceptors. Can you see any problems with sharing the same instance of connection manager between two different client objects/classes?

Why would you want to derive a super class from BasicHttpProcessor? It is basically a container for protocol interceptors. Am I missing something?
