Well, that's the thing. The HttpState will be wrapped up in the
singleton. Some of the servers we support will allow up to 32
simultaneous threads of execution. How will that work when all posts are
done via a singleton?

This is exactly how HttpClient is supposed to be used. Each thread
that calls the singleton HttpClient will get it's own connection from
the MTHCM (assuming the connection limits are chosen appropriately).
MTHCM is internally synchronized.
You only have to take care about HttpState. HttpClient holds a single
default HttpState, which is also synchronized internally. If it's OK
for all the threads to share one state, that's fine. Otherwise, each
thread has to keep it's own HttpState and pass it to execute().

hope that helps,
  Roland
