We should expect to work, in both async and synchronous forms. The 
custom executor case will require a change in the HTTP client 
implementation to ensure that the tasks are submitted from inside, 
rather than outside, the tree. There are a couple of options for that. 
For now, just avoid specifying the executor when creating the HTTP client.
