It isn't that simple to do, the HttpClient objects don't just have easy "do something" methods, there are various things that have to be done to use them. I don't know easy it is to cook up the necessary objects, and that would be ignoring security. In Java it's pretty simple to copy from some existing code but not from a script.

I actually backported the HTTPConnector to a private library, I can send you a copy if you wanted, but it has to be wired up manually in Spring until 3.4 is done.

I suppose you could do something with the java.net.URL class to do something simple, perhaps.
