About HttpClient -
Although the java.net package provides basic functionality for
accessing resources via HTTP, it doesn't provide the full flexibility
or functionality needed by many applications. The Jakarta Commons
HttpClient component seeks to fill this void by providing an
efficient, up-to-date, and feature-rich package implementing the
client side of the most recent HTTP standards and recommendations.

Enjoy,

Commons HttpClient Team
