Review of new Http client API

[Michael McMahon]

Richard,

It is not part of JDK 8 yet, but you can download and build the source
against JDK7 in Netbeans. We have been running it as a java.net project
at http://java.net/projects/http-client

If you'd prefer me to send you a pre-built jar file I could do that.
However, the API has moved on a bit since the javadoc that you probably 
have.
I could probably send you the javadoc as well though.
