Trustin, I have a lot more code to contribute in this area as it is currently here: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/sandbox/AsyncHttpClient This version contains authentication for Basic, Digest, and NTLM and is much more robust. I am currently working on connection reuse and caching and pooling for those HTTP/1.1 connections that support keep-alives. I am also working on allowing the NIO socket level attributes to be set as well as client SSL certificate authentication and Proxy Auth capabilities. Jeff > > Trustin
