I just wanted to point out that in HttpClient 3 (and 2), the class
MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager starts background threads when used.
If I am not mistaken, the OSGi bundle mechanism expects bundles to
clean up when they are stopped. In order to clean up, you would need
a bundle activator that calls
MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager.shutdownAll();
when the bundle is stopped.

cheers,
