The current URLtoByteArray() and URLtoString() methods HttpUtil limits the header information that can be used when fetching a URL. To make it easier to set additional header information, two new methods have been added to HttpUtil:

public byte[] URLtoByteArray(Http.Options options)
public String URLtoString(Http.Options options)

The following methods have been deprecated in favor in using the methods above:

public byte[] URLtoByteArray(String location, Cookie[] cookies, Http.Auth auth, Http.Body body, boolean post)
public byte[] URLtoByteArray(String location, Cookie[] cookies, Http.Auth auth, Map<String, String> parts, boolean post)
public String URLtoString(String location, Cookie[] cookies, Http.Auth auth, Http.Body body, boolean post)
public String URLtoString(String location, Cookie[] cookies, Http.Auth auth, Map<String, String> parts, boolean post)
