That seems like a bug. Should I file an issue in jira?

Hmm, the wiki docs do not agree with the above list so let me ask: Are
basicAuthUser and basicAuthPassword mutually exclusive of
httpClientRef? Are httpClientRef and httpClientSecurityParametersRef
mutually exclusive of each other?

Here is the Million Dollar Question: What is the default value of the
httpCaching attribute on a FileBackedHTTPMetadataProvider? (Please
don’t say “none!”)

Thanks,
