Description
Since 5.1 the new request builder classes seem to be the recommended way of creating http requests, if I'm not mistaken. The original SimpleHttpRequests class is now straight up deprecated. However, unlike SimpleRequestBuilder, the new ClassicRequestBuilder does not accept a RequestConfig. To make matters worse, the request class it produces is BasicClassicHttpRequest, which does not accept a RequestConfig either. This basically renders the ClassicRequestBuilder class useless in a lot of situations.
