> @rafiek I understand that. However we have a very similar situation with `HttpClientBuilder` in HC 4.x and it has been causing quite a bit of confusion and troubles with users who never get around to reading the API documentation. I do not want to repeat the same situation in HC 5.x. Aah, did not know that. Then how about this. I was preparing this feature to make it easier to implement a programmatic SOCKS based HttpClient. The `HttpClientBuilder` uses the `PoolingHttpClientConnectionManagerBuilder` to build a default HttpClientConnectionManager, but doesn't take into consideration to use `systemProperties`. When it does, then it would be very convenient that the builder takes in `connectionSocketFactoryRegistry` as a step for `build()`. This was part of [HTTPCLIENT-1966](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1966), but I closed the pull request because it was preferred to implement it in HC 5.x. Should I also add the changes for HTTPCLIENT-1966 in this pull request. Making the scope bigger and the intention for these changes more clear. Maybe adding more javadoc also? ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
