David, Neither HttpClient 3.1 nor HttpClient 4.0 support non-blocking HTTP. HttpCore (a set of low level components HttpClient 4.0 is based on) provides NIO based components for the most fundamental transport aspects. However, HttpCore does not provide support for advanced HTTP functionality such as state (cookie) management, connection pooling and authentication.
