Hi,
A new revision of the Http client API planned for jdk 8 can be viewed
at the following link
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~michaelm/httpclient/v0.3/
We would like to review the api on this mailing list.
So, all comments are welcome.
Why not javax.net.httpclient? Having it be backportable to earlier
JDKs would definitely help adoption IMO.

The API is dependent on the asynchronous NIO capability that first
appeared in jdk7. So, that would limit
how far back it could be ported. Technically, I don't see a problem with
using a javax. package name
but I'm not sure what precedent there is for doing core platform APIs
under the javax namespace.
What do others think?
