</div><br/><br/>Sorry, Ron, all I got from this email after a day of trying to understand it, is that I do not have the background to grasp what you are trying to tell me. It seems you need to know all of this already before you know how to use it.
<br/><br/>I thought the purpose of encapsulation is that you do not need to know the inner workings of an object to use it.
<br/><br/>Is there something more basic about urls and httpclients that I can start with?
