The code below apparently assumes that client 2.x might still be around; it
is obsolete and this is a perfect opportunity to remove it
```
private HttpClientHelper getHttpClientHelper() {
if (httpClientHelper == null) {
// use commons httpclient 3.0 if available
try {
HttpMethodBase.class.getMethod("getResponseContentLength");
httpClientHelper = new HttpClientHelper3x();
Message.verbose("using commons httpclient 3.x helper");
} catch (SecurityException e) {
Message.verbose("unable to get access to
getResponseContentLength of "
+ "commons-httpclient HeadMethod. Please use
commons-httpclient 3.0 or "
+ "use ivy with sufficient security permissions.");
Message.verbose("exception: " + e.getMessage());
httpClientHelper = new HttpClientHelper2x();
Message.verbose("using commons httpclient 2.x helper");
} catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
httpClientHelper = new HttpClientHelper2x();
Message.verbose("using commons httpclient 2.x helper");
}
}
return httpClientHelper;
}
```
