Some time ago, at Mike Stovers' suggestion, I looked at the possibility of
using the Commons HTTP classes. A quick trial convinced me that the work
involved was massive and well beyond the time that I could afford to
contribute.
But if they will do what you require, I'd be prepared to help out.

Most of these objections were addressed by the Commons people. In
addition, they really serve to justify the Commons HTTP project. There is
also a Swiss effort that I looked at due to a requirement to be able to force
URLConnections to time-out (now, I believe, addressed by Java.NIO).

Agreed. The original implementation was a bit of a hack; there are lots of
bugs reported against it which Sun has been very reluctant to address.

Don't be so modest!

See above.
