Description

Some javadoc should be added to the Fluent HC, so that developers are made aware that they need to handle a reponse from an Executor.
I had a case where I did a logout call, and I did not care to handle the response, because I was not interested if the logout succeeded or not. This then leads to one http connection never being returned to the pool per logout call I made. So I had to change my code so I called discardContent on the Executor.

So some javadoc should be added to the Executor and Response classes in client.fluent package
