HTTP client API

[Martin Buchholz]

I don't know much about http, but I believe those who say that it's very
hard to get the API right.  Perhaps it would be best to deliver a http
client library as an independent beta package for use with jdk 8+ with a
final version becoming part of jdk 10?  Perhaps there can be a productive
collaboration here with companies for which http is bread-n-butter?

As a precedent, jsr166 historically released independent jars in this way
in the jsr166* packages
