Jon Moore resolved HTTPCLIENT-1371.
-----------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
Fix Version/s: (was: 4.4 Final)
4.3 Final
This has been fixed in SVN trunk for the synchronous httpclient and hence
should go out in 4.3 Final. I have created HTTPASYNC-53 to track exposing this
option in the async client. @James: would you mind re-posting your async patch
there?

> RFC2616 explicitly prohibits the use of weak validators in non-GET requests,
> however, the HTTPbis working group says while the limitation for weak
> validators on ranged requests makes sense, weak ETag validation is useful on
> full non-GET requests; e.g., PUT with If-Match. When HTTPbis working group
> publishes a clarification to HTTP/1.1, weak validators will be allow for PUT
> and DELETE requests. HttpClient should make this an config option until
> HTTP/1.1 is officially clarified.
