Hi, I have started to work on a new library gt-http that tries to collect all usage of HTTP clients within Geotools. For the moment there are two client implementations. SimpleHttpClient in gt-main and MultithreadedHttpClient in gt-wms and gt-wfs-ng. You see there are actually three, but the last two are almost identical.
MultithreadedHttpClient have the advantage that it uses a connection pool favoring connections to the same host. I see the advantage in using this for all the listed projects. The disadvantage is that you would have a new dependency on the external library commons-httpclient. In the near future this dependency will vanish when Geotools is ready for JDK 11, and we could use the new HTTP client inside JDK. Before going that direction, it would be great to have one place for all HTTP clients. If you really think it's horrible to include this dependency, I could turn it into a plugin. Any opinions?
