Is it possible to use org.jclouds.rest.HttpClient (or any other way) for sending a request to cloud provider? I need this for querying ec2 status checks which is not supported by the API.
You should be able to do something like HttpRequest req = HttpRequest.builder()....build(); // [1] HttpResponse resp = ctx.utils().http().invoke(req); // [2] but you'd have to manage all the authentication and headers yourself :-( Out of curiosity: to which "unsupported request(s)" are you referring? ap [1] http://javadocs.jclouds.cloudbees.net/org/jclouds/http/HttpRequest.html [2] http://javadocs.jclouds.cloudbees.net/org/jclouds/rest/Utils.html#http()
