title: httpcomponents not working as documented
body: <p>Using the code I found here: <a href="http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/quickstart.html" rel="nofollow">http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/quickstart.html</a> I created a quick HTTP client application. Here is a code snippet:</p>
  
  <pre><code>DefaultHttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
  HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(url);
  log.info("Logging in");
  HttpResponse response;
  try {
    response = httpclient.execute(httpGet);
  }
  catch (ClientProtocolException cpe) {
    String msg = "Error logging in with:" + rootUrl;
    log.error(msg, cpe);
    throw new BusinessRuleException(msg, cpe);
  }
  catch (IOException ioe) {
    String msg = "Error logging in with:" + rootUrl;
    log.error(msg, ioe);
    throw new BusinessRuleException(msg, ioe);
  }
  
  try {
    System.out.println(response.getStatusLine());
    HttpEntity entity = response.getEntity();
    // do something useful with the response body
    // and ensure it is fully consumed
    EntityUtils.consume(entity);
  }
  catch (IOException ioe) {
    String msg = "Error retrieving login response:" + rootUrl;
    log.error(msg, ioe);
    throw new BusinessRuleException(msg, ioe);
  }
  finally {
    httpGet.releaseConnection();
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get this exception:</p>

  <p>I found some docs that said releaseConnection() wasn't necessary, so I deleted the finally block. Then I get this exception:</p>
  
  <pre><code>java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.http.util.EntityUtils.consume(Lorg/apache/http/HttpEntity;)V
