I have done more investigation, and found the methods I depend on in the jar come from java 1.31. in looking at the current httpclient, it does not support the code I have. I am not sure what I will do at this point but for the trunk it would be best to use the current httpclient. I am still going thru the current httpclient class in ofbiz to figure out how is would be used, mostly in communication with third parties.
