Roland et al.,
I successfully done just that by using the Spring Framework and
dependency injection. Basically, you setup a configuration bean for
all of the settings you want to use in your application context and
viola, an XML configurable http client that isn't hard coded.
Here's a piece of what I use:
...
<bean id="proxyConfig"
class="org.apache.commons.httpclient.ProxyHost">
<constructor-arg>
<!-- hostname of the proxy to use -->
<value>proxy.domain.local</value>
</constructor-arg>
<!-- port to connect to on the proxy host -->
<constructor-arg>
<value>8080</value>
</constructor-arg>
</bean>
...
I'm not sure if anyone else would like a more detailed example, but
if enough people are interested, I might be persuaded into putting
something together.
Thanks,
Joshua Preston

No. We have no idea where you - or any other HttpClient user - would
like to read that config from, or in what format you'd like to have
it.
Why don't you implement your own config-reader for all
your application settings?
