Craig, I agree that there should be a startSession(URL) method, but did
you really mean that you want an HttpClient(URL) constructor? I
deprecated those constructors because they led to confusing
behaviour. For example,
URL url = new URL("http://java.sun.com";);
HttpClient client = new HttpClient(url);
client.startSession();
will open a session to localhost:80. I much prefer one no-arg constructor
and explicit startSession(URL) and startSession(String host, int
port) constructors.
