ERXRestClient was just a proof of concept ... There's really no reason you 
couldn't just extend the APi to always use 
ERXKeyFilter.filterWithAllRecursive() and make a default rest delegate that 
just makes new instances of classes for you. That said, I think RestEasy and 
Jersey both do a better job on the client side for things like modeling cookie, 
header, and form parameters. All would be pretty easy to put into 
ERXRestClient, though -- we certainly have all the primitives to do it.
