Or is it allready used a lot? > The HTTPClient code is Apache code - see http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/ for details - and is used by quite a few projects. [JMeter is using version 2.0 at present.] However the JMeter sampler that uses it is new, and some features have not yet been implemented (e.g. Post probably does not work) which is why it is shown as Alpha code. If you do discover any problems or missing functionality, please let us know. Equally, if you have been using it successfully under heavy loads, it would also be useful to know.
