Francois-Xavier Bonnet commented on HTTPCLIENT-1515:
----------------------------------------------------
The point with the API was that we don't want to change the signature of
existing constructors or methods in order not to break the code of the projects
that are using it. But we still can add new methods or constructors.
In my opinion it is better to add 2 constructors to HttpCacheEntry and to
encapsulate all the logic related to the "Hc-Request-Method" header in this
class than to make BasicHttpCache partially responsible for that.
It will be easier later to refactor the code as we will probably remove the old
consrtuctors without request method.
