Changes
The package scoped constructor of DefaultHttpClient has been made protected so that custom implementations can extend DefaultHttpClient to provide a pre-build OkHttp client delegate.
I considered making the constructor public so we didn't need to extend, but that felt like a step too far and leaks to the world that the DefaultHttpClient implementation is using OkHttp
