SolrNet using plain SolrConnection when AutoSolrConnection injected with Windsor

[Seebiscuit]

In our project we handle SolrNet operations through a repository which we instantiate like this:

//Our project deploys one "case" per client and each client has their own Solr core
//which we name based on their "caseId"
public SolrSearchRepository(int caseId, string solrServer)
{
    var coreName = "core_" + caseId;

    this.container = new WindsorContainer();
    this.container.Register(Component.For<ISolrConnection>()
                .ImplementedBy<AutoSolrConnection>()
                .DependsOn(Parameter.ForKey("serverUrl").Eq(solrServer)));

    this.facility = new SolrNetFacility(solrServer);
    this.facility.AddCore(coreName, typeof(SolrDocument), solrServer + "/" + caseId);

    this.container.AddFacility(this.facility);

    solrOperation = this.container.Resolve<ISolrOperations<SolrDocument>>(coreName);
}

Where ISolrConnection is implemented by the AutoSolrConnection class @gjunge recently contributed.

With this setup SolrNet is still using a GET request when sending queries.

I looked deeper into the matter and luckily I found this:

https://github.com/SolrNet/SolrNet/blob/5793e6ccbe94f09bf9b45c594fbf7d86d0a84c4a/Castle.Facilities.SolrNetIntegration/SolrNetFacility.cs#L193

where I noticed that AddCore takes a postConnection parameter. Supplying a true value for the postConnection param toggled a POST request for queries.

I was thus able to reduce my core setup to:

//Our project deploys one "case" per client and each client has their own Solr core
//which we name based on their "caseId"
public SolrSearchRepository(int caseId, string solrServer)
{
    var coreName = "core_" + caseId;

    this.container = new WindsorContainer();

    this.facility = new SolrNetFacility(solrServer);
    this.facility.AddCore(coreName, typeof(SolrDocument), solrServer + "/" + caseId);

    this.container.AddFacility(this.facility);

    solrOperation = this.container.Resolve<ISolrOperations<SolrDocument>>(coreName);
}

I have the following questions and comments:

1. Since I'm using the SolrnetFacility does that override any components I register on the WindsorContainer? If yes, how could I use AutoSolrConnection?
2. There is no documentation on how to implement SolrPostConnection on a multi-core setup.
3. There is no documentation on AutoSolrcConnection

For comments 2) and 3) I'd be happy to push a PR if there's interest.

Regarding documentation, please contribute as much as possible. For the other question, perhaps @gjunge may have an answer.

AutosolrConnection has not been added to the other DI containers. I'm not really familiar with Windsor, so I wouldn't be able to tell you what takes presedence. I do think it might be good to change the implementation, and by default use the AutoSolrConnection.
