Perhaps the author meant to write the second one as
const ConnStateData *getConn() instead of
ConnStateData *const getConn()?
Then it would make sense and would not need fixing, I guess.
Whether it is a good idea to return non-constant ConnStateData object
from a constant ClientHttpRequest object is a different question. If
modifying ConnStateData object does not really alter the
ClientHttpRequest state, then it is appropriate.
