Mix-and-match HttpCore and HttpClient versions
HttpClient and HttpCore have similar version numbers; both have a
4.2.x series and a 4.3 series.
Is there any relationship between the two?
Is it necessary for HttpClient 4.2.x to use HttpCore 4.2.x?
Or can HttpClient 4.2.5 be used with HttpCore 4.3?
The website does not seem to have any information on this.
I think the download page needs to make it clear whether they are linked or not.
Also, if they are linked, then HttpCore 4.2.x needs to be available on
the download page.

... HttpClient 4.2.5 includes HttpCore 4.2.4; what if the user wants
to update to the latest HttpCore 4.2.x - i.e. 4.2.5?
I think that means Core 4.2.5 should be on the download page.

Every binary release of HttpClient comes with all the requisite
dependencies bundled including HttpCore. I do not have a problem with
putting HttpCore 4.2 back at the download page. I just do not think it
is necessary.

JMeter does not have a dep. mgt tool. ;-)
Nor do users of the download page necessarily have one.
If Core 4.2.x is recommended for use with Client 4.2.x then IMO Core
4.2.x must be available from the download page.
And the reasoning should be mentioned on the the download page.

Theoretically, it can, as HttpCore 4.3 should be fully API backward
compatible. However, truth to be told I have not been testing all
possible version combinations. Unless one has a very good reason to mix
4.3 core with 4.2 client I would probably caution against doing so. Just
use client 4.3 and let your dependency management tool pick up requisite
dependencies.
