+issue: 6180
+title: "IGenericClients or IHttpClients created to make requests
+        would be thrown away and new ones created to make the request
+        along the chain.
+        This resulted in client settings being lost (since the client
+        was lost).
+        This hasn't been fixed, since the paths are so well used,
+        but a new path has been created to allow reusable clients
+        that will reuse the same settings for all subsequent requests.
