Hi jeffty, HttpCore is like the nuts and bolts -- it's the individual pieces you need to build something. HttpClient is the additional stuff that brings the nuts & bolts together into an easy-to-use http client. That is, httpcore can do all the things that httpclient does -- but it needs some explicit instructions telling it how to do those things. (It is built like this so that the core pieces can be extended in different ways... for example, httpcore can be used with a non-blocking I/O implementation for high-performance servers or clients.)
You very likely want to migrate to HttpClient 4.0 if you're looking to switch to the 4.0 impl, and want to upgrade from 2.0. We did the same conversion a few months back. (We actually went through two steps -- converted our home-built upload code to be built ontop of httpcore 4.0, and then later converted the remaining uses of httpclient 2.0 to be using httpclient 4.0.) (Bear in mind that right now 4.0 is in Alpha, so the API can change. If 2.0 is working for you and there's no need to switch right now, I'd recommend waiting until 4.0 is in beta, unless you're willing to redo some things occasionally if the API changes.)
