httpclient-4.1.1.jar        
httpcore-4.1.jar

I'm not going to answer your question, but you might be interested in this.

Suppose you download and install SBT (version 0.10.0 or higher), and create a shell script called "scalas":

java -Dsbt.main.class=sbt.ScriptMain \
     -Dsbt.boot.directory=/home/user/.sbt/boot \
     -jar sbt-launch.jar "$@"

And then you write your script like this:

#!/usr/bin/env scalas
!#

/***
scalaVersion := "2.9.1"

libraryDependencies ++= Seq(
  "commons-codec" % "commons-codec" % "1.4", 
  "org.apache.httpcomponents" % "httpclient" % "4.1.1",
  "org.apache.httpcomponents" % "httpcore" % "4.1",
  "commons-logging" % "commons-logging" % "1.1.1",
  "org.apache.httpcomponents" % "httpclient-cache" % "4.1.1", 
  "org.apache.httpcomponents" % "httpmime" % "4.1.1"
)
*/

println(new org.apache.http.client.DefaultHttpClient())
