1. I have tired to modify the HTTPSender to use the httpclient
in apache common project. The purpose is as you said to support
Keep-alive and chunking transfer-encoding. However, httpclient
does not fit my need very well and I found it have problems 
when using http proxy. So, is the httpclient lib mature enough
to be used in Soap-client ?

2. Right now, I already have a working modified HTTPSender that 
support Keep-alive and chunking transfer-encoding. The 
performance improvement is not significant but visible, around
10% ~ 15% using localhost tomcat. 

3. For the HTTPSender, I also plan to make all the JSSE 
properties configurable. Therefore user can specify the security
properties programmatically or by config rather than using defaults.

Let me know if my modified HTTPSender is valuable for you ...
