I'm working on a project where I need to extend and override some of the methods in the SyncHttpClient class.

The result field and the responseHandler field are not accessible to my child class because the access modifiers are private and default, respectively.

For now, I've modified my local copy of your project to change both to protected so that extending classes can use them.

Please make a simple mod to the SyncHttpClient class:

protected String result;
protected AsyncHttpResponseHandler responseHandler = new AsyncHttpResponseHandler() {
...
}
