Http Clients and their use in other protocols

[jgoldverg]

From what I have noticed clients(google, s3, dropbox, box) all use an underlying HTTPClient, is there any way(or is it better) if we use the HttpClient used in the Connection bag?

Why would we want to do this?
We would be able to change the pipe lining parameter on the underlying could providers client dynamically.

The questions to answer for this are:

1. Is it even possible to do this?
2. Would there be performance difference if we were too? If so is it positive or negative
