Review Comment:
   I'd written a huge amount of comments in my deleted self review for this 
point. Basically thinking out loud. So here you'll get the condensed version.
   
   Basically doing something like
   
   ```
   $ find . -name "*.java" -exec grep -H "httpClient" {} \;
   ```
   
   and all other possible httpclients I could think of, I found no example of 
an outboud HTTP connexion from guacamole. So as far as I can see we are free to 
implement this how we want. However it needs to
   
   - No introduce any new large dependencies to guacamole
   - treat both POST and GET requests
   - Be relatively clean
   
   java.nat.httpUrlConnection is a bit old and ugly, but I couldn't find and 
apache commons I/O function that treated both POST and GET. Using Jackson to 
deserialize to an Object seemed also to be overkill as I only
   needed a couple of values. 
   
   The slightly more modern java.net.http.httpClient will make the code 
cleaner. Don't see the point of using 
org.apache.http.impl.client.CloseableHttpClient as the htpp post/get operations 
are one off each time.
   
   I've updated the code using httpClient and included asynchronous operation 
to release control back the the Tomcat Servlet so as not to impact the rest of 
guacamole if the operation takes some time.
   
   If you prefer a different http client, there is a plethora to choose from, 
then sure I'll change it. Now is the time to complain as this is the first 
outbound connection in guacamole, so getting it right before introducing code 
we might regrets is the right time to do. :-)
