Alexey Levan commented on HTTPCLIENT-1124:
------------------------------------------
Yes it should be ignored by the server, but that doesn't mean that client

possible. It should be up to the library user to decide whether he wants to
send such a meaningless message.

to not allow it to be included.
of request. The HTTP spec doesn't prohibit that (AFAIK, even GET requests
with body are allowed), and any spec-compliant implementation shouldn't do
it either. I suggest merging HttpEntityEnclosingRequestBase with
HttpRequestBase, since there's really no reason to make this artifical
restriction.
