## Package org.apache.hc.core5.http Description

Core HTTP transport component APIs.

These deal with the fundamental things required for using the HTTP protocol, such as representing a `message` including it's `headers` and optional `entity`, and `connections` over which messages are sent. In order to prepare messages before sending or after receiving, there are interceptors for `requests` and `responses`.
