I filed a new bugzilla entry:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=297062

I wonder if there's any good reason to create a new instance on each
call.   What prohibits ECF to reuse a httpClient instance? Do I miss
something?
Just tell me wich solution you'll opt for and I'll be glad to provider a
patch.

sound good! I'll catch up with the latest incarnation and try to
subclass to get what I need.
On the other hand, I wonder here too, if there's any good reason to
deliberately loose the error code. What do I miss?

Thanks + Cheers!
