block and authblock under http REST configuration

I noticed that when creating a proxy via REST "blocked" and "autoBlock" attributes are nested under httpClient. In the UI both of these are under Proxy level, so not sure why this was done.
I further believe that the httpClient section as a whole is required because these two attributes are, which I think is errant.
In the UI, http configuration isn't required and I envision if these two attributes were moved to Proxy, it would allow that to be the same for REST.
