Sami Ben Romdhane commented on HTTPCLIENT-857:
----------------------------------------------
Oleg, we are using Httpclient , and statistically 5 to 10% of the sites we're acessing return 404. Since the browser is able to access them and even with user agent string of popular browsers, Httpclient is getting 404l, then it becomes an HttpClient issue and should be an HttpClient issue and not mine to resolve by contacting hundreds of web sites and begging them to work with HttpCLient. This is the wrong mindset for an open source project. So for me the resolution is: Stop using HttpClient!!! Thanks for your time
> some sites return 404 status code even though they are accessible by all browsers
