This example: Send HTTP Request manually via socket
describes very well how to send an HTTP request manually using a socket. For sending, that's exactly what I need. However, I could use some help with parsing the response. I.e. instead of having to deal with the flat response LOB I'd like to be able to invoke something like:
Response response = new Response(inputStream);
I looked at a few HTTP/Web service clients like JAX-RS or Apache Http Components that return a parsed response object but looks like they all expect the request to be submitted through the appropriate API.
