Description

(1) This seems conceptually wrong to me. The kernel ought not have any dependencies on a transport specific libraries
(2) A more practical reason: it is just a matter of time HttpClient 3.1 will be superceded by HttpClient 4.0 and support for commons HttpClient will be discontinued.

If there is an agreement this is indeed an issue, which should be resolved, I will happily invest time looking into what it takes to decouple HttpClient from Axis2 kernel.
