+HttpClient for Android
+
+ Google Android 1.0 was released with a pre-BETA snapshot of Apache HttpClient. To coincide with
+ the first Android release Apache HttpClient 4.0 APIs had to be frozen prematurely, while many
+ of interfaces and internal structures were still not fully worked out. As Apache HttpClient 4.0
+ was maturing the project was expecting Google to incorporate the latest code improvements into
+ their code tree. Unfortunately it did not happen. Version of Apache HttpClient shipped with
+ Android has effectively become a fork. Eventually Google decided to discontinue further
+ development of their fork while refusing to upgrade to the stock version of Apache HttpClient
+ citing compatibility concerns as a reason for such decision. As a result those Android
+ developers who would like to continue using Apache HttpClient APIs on Android cannot take
+ advantage of newer features, performance improvements and bug fixes.
+
+ Apache HttpClient 4.3 port for Android was intended to remedy the situation by providing
+ official releases compatible with Google Android.
+
+ Given that as of Android API 23 Google's fork of HttpClient has been removed this project
+ has been discontinued.
+
+ Those users who want to continue using Apache HttpClient on Android are advised to
+ consider
