We're implementing a REST client on JRE 1.4.

Seems two good options for a client REST framework are HttpClient and HttpUrlConnection.

Is there a reason to use HttpClient over the JRE's HttpUrlConnection?

Answer 1

I'd go with the JRE version just so I would have one less dependency to ship around.
