Description

This improvement has 2 main aspects:

1. Contributing the pass through HTTP transport developed at WSO2 to Synapse
2. Modifying Synapse to use the pass through HTTP transport as the default (this requires some minor changes to the transport too)

The pass through transport, as it stands now, can only be used for simple pass through, static routing and header based routing scenarios. It cannot be used for any scenario where content lookup or manipulation is required. This effort makes the pass through transport one of the core transports of Synapse, and modifies Synapse and the transport in a way so that the transport can be used in any scenario without restrictions.
