Thanks nono303, yes I think it makes sense to perform the http engine change also for the trunk/main branch. The main reason from my perspective is not the speed, but the left over connections which also affect the server side. That is unnecessary resource consumtion... The problem is that the old HttpURLConnection is exposed to map sources. Especially the BSH map sources are a complicated case I have to find a workaround for.

Some functions of MOBAC like adding customHTTP headers don't work in this version but I assume for a local server this isn't necessary. You can find the code in branch apacheCommonsHttp in the new MOBAC git repository: https://sourceforge.net/p/mobac/git/ci/apacheCommonsHttp/tree/ Apache commons http client has an explicit connection manager and it makes sure HTTP connections are always returned in...
