We never truly needed to prove HttpClient was better than HttpUrlConnection, because HttpUrlConnection historically had an ugly and limited API and Sun's implementation used to be _completely_ and _helplessly_ broken internally way until Java 1.4. So, the choice of an HTTP library really depends on your particular requirements. Choose whatever works best for you. If HttpUrlConnection works for you, there is no point dragging in an external library. As to the performance of HttpClient, there are benchmark results comparing performance of HttpClient 3.x vs HttpClient 4.0 vs HttpCore 4.0 http://wiki.apache.org/HttpComponents/HttpClient3vsHttpClient4vsHttpCore For what it is worth to you.
