through appletviewer get

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/commons/logging/LogFactory

at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:534)

i created jar file through
jar -cvfm HttpUtil.jar Manifest.txt HttpUtil.class lib

your problem is, that the httpclient also has dependent packages, like
commons-logging (where the class LogFactory is to be found). just add it to your application. and i'm not shure, if the logging package is the only dependency. just try out and have a look at the dependency descriptions of the http client.
