Roar:

I was mostly interested in clarifying the api; I just had an experience
with enabling/disabling resources for different layers that had a similar
OR test where any true was sufficient - and it was very confusing.

I do think that when this is ready it can be applied to geotools codebase
as a wrapper on the http client… but that is an implementation detail.

The important thing is that this is a good addition and we should have an
opportunity for future work simplifying the application.
