client.jar is the HTTP client package from Jigsaw [1]
winie is the GUI and the logic used to check ETags of resources, etc..

In that case, client.jar is what you need. It contains also WebDAV
classes, a full HTTP/1.1 cache support.
I can start to generate a standalone jar from the Jigsaw distribution, if
ou need this (a new release is on its way)
