Hi Diana,
Don't put commons-logging on your boot classpath it does some funky stuff
with class loaders and doesn't always work well.  Generally speaking it's a
bad idea to use the lib/ext folder for anything except overriding items
already on the boot classpath (which is what that directory is for).  Use
the -classpath argument to java to specify the classpath to use.

There is a whole heap of HttpClient documentation at
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient which covers most areas people
have problems with.

Regards,

Adrian Sutton.
