You should look at Jetty 9's new HttpClient.
It has a totally rewritten API, it's way faster, non-blocking, with a
lot more features and fully configurable.
Documentation is coming soon, but you can look at this class for
examples of how to use it:
http://git.eclipse.org/c/jetty/org.eclipse.jetty.project.git/tree/jetty-client/src/test/java/org/eclipse/jetty/client/api/Usage.java
Oh, and it's JDK 8's lambda ready.
