I'm the one who doesn't use HttpClient at all, because it's too simplistic for me. I need to maintain a single HttpConnectionManager but a bunch of HttpState objects (one per thread in my application), so I have my own function that does the same thing as HttpClient.executeMethod.
HttpState state = new HttpState();
HttpConnection = new HttpConnection(host, port, secure);
HttpMethod method = new GetMethod(path);
int status = method.execute(state, connection);
I would second the request to leave entry points into the `engine' behind HttpClient.java. As far as I understand it, HttpClient.java is just an implementation of a simple user agent. My expected use (and limited current use) of the API would likely not even mention HttpClient.java and would itself constitute a user-agent.
To take the example of redirects, this is something I need control of (auto-redirects is the first thing I turn off in Sun's HttpURLConnection).
