Async Http Client Plugin

This plugin provides a shared dependency on the ning.com async-http-client library so that other plugins can co-operate when using this library.
Beside the dependency to the async library (https://github.com/AsyncHttpClient/async-http-client), this plugin also provides a utility class to help you get the proxyserver instance that is correct for the current jenkins instance.

Typical config setup
  AsyncHttpClientConfig.Builder httpClientConfig =
          new AsyncHttpClientConfig.Builder().setRequestTimeoutInMs(25000)
               .setProxyServer(AHCUtils.getProxyServer());

For code which is running on the master and is happy to use a shared instance that will be shut down with Jenkins, as of 1.7.8, there is a singleton which keeps an instance configured for the current proxy server:

AHC.instance()

There is also a responsive mailing list for using the base async-http-client library at: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#\!forum/asynchttpclient\|https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#\!forum/asynchttpclient (https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#\!forum/asynchttpclient)
