Ewan,
The 3.1 and 4.1 APIs are so different that it is not possible to
mechanically port to the new API just by replacing old classes and
interfaces with new ones.
I strongly recommend investing 30 minutes of your time into reading the
HttpClient tutorial and refactoring your code to take full advantage of
HttpClient 4.1 capabilities.
