Allow configuration of httpclient to change cookie policy, other options
------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: WAGON-269
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/WAGON-269
             Project: Maven Wagon
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: wagon-http
    Affects Versions: 1.0-beta-5
            Reporter: John Casey


In some cases, using non-lightweight http wagon can result in WARNING messages 
about cookies with an incorrect path. This can be a particular problem where 
internal rewrite modules change the location of a servlet that expects to be at 
a different path than the one the browser used to access it.

httpclient configuration options need to be exposed for configuration from the 
settings.xml in order to allow users to fix this. Simply ignoring cookies is 
probably not a great option, since some sites do rely on session cookies to 
maintain authentication, etc. Additionally, there is a wealth of configuration 
available for httpclient, and exposing a method for configuring this wagon 
comprehensively should help us head off future concerns about one of the other 
config options.
