If the code you posted came from a coworker, might it be possible that
they didn't understand the concept of polymorphic types, and *could*
have used a common base class?

I don't know.

It is configurable.

The API is simpler than (Http)URLConnection, so even if
you don't need all the features, then it can be beneficial
to use.

The post Lothar quoted in his post said:
and usually go with apache commons HttpClient

That is very explicit.

This reminds me of the standard response I get when I write to an
author words to this effect.

On page 99 of your manual, you say "xxxx". This could be interpreted
to mean either "yyyy" or "zzzz". I suggest rewording it as "aaaaa" to
make it clear that you meant "zzzz".

They respond I meant "zzzz". This is perfectly clear to any
(German-speaking) person. If you, as a rank novice, have further
trouble understanding my program, please don't hesitate to ask.
