Sami Ben Romdhane commented on HTTPCLIENT-857:
----------------------------------------------

Oleg, we are using Httpclient , and statistically 5 to 10% of the sites we're 
acessing return 404. Since the browser is able to access them and even with 
user agent string of popular browsers, Httpclient is getting 404l, then it 
becomes  an HttpClient issue and should be an HttpClient issue and not mine to 
resolve by contacting hundreds of web sites and begging them to work with 
HttpCLient. This is the wrong mindset for an open source project. So for me the 
resolution is: Stop using HttpClient!!! Thanks for your time

> some sites return 404 status code even though they are accessible by all 
> browsers
