James Leigh commented on HTTPCLIENT-1358:
-----------------------------------------
I was just trying to reduce code duplication between my project and httpclient.
In my project, I want to support authentication over non-socket connections.
This was my motivation for moving the authentication related code out of
MainClientExec to HttpAuthenticator. This patch allows me to reuse the
authentication code in my project for non-socket connections.

> MainClientExec directs the route, establishes connections, handles target
> authentication and handles proxy authentication. It is involved with both the
> connection/route management and the authentication semantics.
> It is currently too hard to intercept/handle httpclient requests without
> serializing them in a socket first. If the authentication was handled in a
> different class, then the connection route/timeout management, it would be
> easier to provide custom handling on the client side using the complete
> request (including auth headers).
