public interface HttpClient extends Closeable
Client
implementations. A
HttpClientProvider
is loaded during construction of a new HTTP

selected and its HttpClientProvider.newHttpClient(org.forgerock.util.Options)

.Promise<Response,NeverThrowsException> sendAsync(Request request)
Promise
representing the asynchronous Response
of the given request
.
If any (asynchronous) processing goes wrong, the promise still contains a Response
(probably from the
4xx or 5xx status code family).
The returned Promise
contains the response returned from the server as-is.
This is responsibility of the client to produce the appropriate error response (404,
500, ...) in case of processing or transport errors.
