Http client library for java

I've been searching for a java http client for one of my projects. then I came across a simple library called jakartha commons client. As it turns out, this library is at it's end of life. So I was wondering a good library implementation of http client. After many tryouts, it seems apache http components is the go to library for general needs of http client.

http://hc.apache.org/

However if you are a spring user, then spring also provides facilities for http client requests.
http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/3.0.x/api/org/springframework/http/client/package-summary.html

Having said that, the scope of this implementation is very limited. So my personal preference is apache http components over spring implementation, unless the requirement is very basic.
