Does HttpClient make use of Java NIO when in a Java 1.4.x context? If not, is there any work being done in this direction?
wherefor?
it doesn't make sense since reading and writing to the socket is done in the thread, from which the methods are called. NIO would make sense, if the API of HttpClient would be somehow asynchronious. That would mean that you can drop a "Job" into a Queue and that it's executed in the background. As this is not the case, using NIO doesn't make any sense.
