HttpClient为用户提供了非常简洁的API来用于使用Http协议来通讯的应用，可以用于构建web browsers, web spiders, HTTP proxies, web service transport libraries, or systems that leverage or extend the HTTP protocol for distributed communication.

提供的功能：
* Implements HTTP versions 1.0 and 1.1
* Implements all HTTP methods, such as GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, HEAD, OPTIONS, and TRACE
* Supports communication using HTTPS and connections through HTTP proxies
* Supports authentication using Basic, Digest, and NT LAN Manager (NTLM) methods
* Handles cookies
