getPage does not accept extra positional arguments

New submission from truppo <None>:

When using getPage and wanting to pass extra arguments to HTTPClientFactory, positional arguments cannot be used even though "*args" is specified in the getPage signature and the docstring suggests it would accept any extra args that HTTPClientFactory accepts.
