What are HttpsURL and HttpURL generally used for?
The various URI classes seem to need a home. They might be big enough for their own package.
Where is URLUtil?
We should probably require the various classes as a dependency. The only down side being that a person has to download a lot more jars, etc. to get started working with HttpClient. It's kind of nice to have everything in one jar. Perhaps that could be a release option. We could package everything in one jar as a "fat" release and have just HttpClient code as another "skinny" option.

There are still a bunch of classes that are in both HttpClient and Slide. In particular:
Base64.java
HttpsURL.java
HttpURL.java
URIException.java
URI.java
URIUtil.java
URLUtil.java
First of all, I think these should come out of Slide as part of their migration to commons-httpclient which is still underway.
Second, I thnk that these classes are too general to be part of HttpClient. They have use well beyond a http client, and so should be available to other packages without requiring the commons-httpclient.jar.
Do people agree with me? If so, any idea where these could go? Perhaps the root of org.apache.commons? or a new commons-net package? put Base64 in commons-lang, and create a new commons-uri package?
If we do this, would it be better for HttpClient to roll the classes into the commons-httpclient.jar, or require it as a dependancy?
Any comments would be helpful.
