> 1. The latter four attributes apply to FileBackedHTTPMetadataProvider as well.

>From the schema:
	supportedContentTypes, 
	maxConnectionsTotal, 
	maxConnectionsTotal 
		are *NOT* available (directly) on the batch loaders.  
	disregardSslCertificate
		is deprecated and its status is irrelevant.
 
> 2. The latter three attributes are incompatible with httpClientRef.

>From the code:  The following attributes cause a warning to be emitted if present with a httpClientRef

	requestTimeout
	connectionTimeout
	connectionRequestTimeout
	socketTimeout
	disregardSslCertificate
	disregardTLSCertificate
	proxyHost
	proxyPort
	proxyUser
	proxyPassword

> 3. The supportedContentTypes attribute is independent of httpClientRef.

Entirely.  The content type is checked after the client has been used to get the response.
