Folks, Given the fact we are introducing pluggable HTTP message parsers and HTTP message writers, I would like to remove the old ugly code HttpCore inherited from the HttpClient 2.x days [1] intended to discard garbage lines preceding the HTTP status line. This particular feature was added to make HttpClient more suitable for web crawlers that need to be able to handle all sorts of broken CGIs out there. I would like to have this piece of code removed. Garbage tolerance in HTTP responses can now be achieved by plugging in a custom HTTP parser implementation and I feel it should no longer be present in the stock version of HttpCore
