Hiya, we've got an adapter for the Wink RestClient to use the Ning AsyncHttpClient ( http://github.com/AsyncHttpClient/async-http-client ) here:
http://github.com/sonatype/wink-client-asynchttpclient It needs a little bit more work, but we (Sonatype) would like to donate this. Its handy if you are using the Ning AHC for other aspects of your application, so you don't need multiple http client configurations running around on your JVM. At one point one application had Jetty Async Client (for cometd) Apache HC (for wink rest) and then Ning for newer components. Yikes! * * * Would you guys be interested in this? --jason
