We use AsyncHttpClient heavily in our project. We use Session cookies in our headers which get stored in AsyncHttpClient. Because we use session cookies, we can't keep both a SyncHttpClient, and an AsyncHttpClient.. we need one client from which we can make both synchronous and asynchronous requests.
