/**
 * HttpParams interface represents a collection of immutable values that define
 * a runtime behavior of a component. HTTP parameters should be simple objects:
 * integers, doubles, strings, collections and objects that remain immutable
 * at runtime. HttpParams is expected to be used in 'write once - read many' mode.
 * Once initialized, HTTP parameters are not expected to mutate in
 * the course of HTTP message processing.
 * 
 * The purpose of this interface is to define a behavior of other components.
 * Usually each complex component has its own HTTP parameter collection.
 * 
 * Instances of this interface can be linked together to form a hierarchy.
 * In the simplest form one set of parameters can use content of another one
 * to obtain default values of parameters not present in the local set.
 *
 * @since 4.0
 *
 * @deprecated (4.3) use configuration classes provided 'org.apache.http.config'
 *  and 'org.apache.http.client.config'
