Mike Cumings commented on HTTPCLIENT-854:
-----------------------------------------
Unfortunately, no. I looked at doing something like that early on.
The problem is that the request needs to be sent independently of
waiting for the response. Deferring both of them until some time in
the future is not an equivalent operation.

> The HttpClient API currently provides for the execution of a request via the
> HttpClient.execute(...) methods. These methods all send the request and then
> block until the response has been received. This precludes the user of the
> API from being able to send the request, perform some additional work, then
> come back and block on the request. This style of processing is very
> desirable for implementation of HTTP-based protocols such as
> Bidirectional-streams Over Synchronous HTTP (BOSH). This capability is also
> closely related to HTTPCLIENT-258, support for HTTP 1.1 pipelining.
> The current code base (4.0) currently utilizes
> org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultRequestDirector.execute(...) to transmit
> requests. This method contains a retry loop which blocks on and then
> examines the response from the remote server. When success is detected, it
> cleans up and returns the response instance. Requests are sent using an
> HttpResponseExecutor instance. These classes support the ability to
> separately doSendRequest() and doReceiveResponse().
> Please expose the ability to leverage this functionality outwith the retry
> loop but including the existing routing and authorization capabilities, where
> possible.
