HttpClient
Preface
The Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is perhaps the most significant protocol used on the Internet
today. Web services, network-enabled appliances and the growth of network computing continue to
expand the role of the HTTP protocol beyond user-driven web browsers, while increasing the number
of applications that require HTTP support.
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. HttpClient 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.
Designed for extension while providing robust support for the base HTTP protocol, HttpClient may
be of interest to anyone building HTTP-aware client applications such as web browsers, web service
clients, or systems that leverage or extend the HTTP protocol for distributed communication.
