Hi Paweł There is already some sort of testing support module in HttpCore and HttpClient which I imagine could host mocking and assert support classes as well. There is a problem however exemplified by the same testing module. It contains a testing framework contributed some while ago by an external contributor [1]. The original contributor lost any further interest in that code pretty much immediately after it had been accepted into the project and walked away. Now I have no idea what we ought to do about that testing code. I have no idea if there are any external projects using it. It appears to be dead weight for the project. My first question is quite simple. How likely you are going to stick around after having your library folded into HttpClient?
