Check. FWIW, I've always found the current release model unclear. I do not
feed I can guarantee that core 4.2.x works with client 4.2.y or other
combinations. The only thing I can be guaranteed is that the stack works as
defined by the deps in the POMs.

For me at least, I'd be happy to link to a httpcomponents-all 4.3, get
all-in-one jar and be done with it,

But hey, that's just me :)
