By which I was trying to say "pooling is a big deal" when you start 
dealing with authenticated connections, much like with LDAP, and I don't 
know enough about HttpClient to know how that factors into the discussion.

I do my own explicit, very tightly controlled, pooling by storing curl 
handles with the initiator/acceptor/endpoint strings as a pooling key (and 
libcurl adds in the HTTP and SSL session resumption part for free when you 
reuse curl handles).
