Answer 1

dependencies {
    compile group: 'org.apache.httpcomponents', name: 'httpclient-android', version: '4.3.5'
    compile 'org.apache.httpcomponents:httpmime:4.3.5'
}

Answer 2

httpmime-4.2.6.jar worked fine all by itself. I needed no other dependencies besides that jar.

If you're using a dependency-managing build system like Maven or gradle, you'll notice that httpmime-4.2.6 depends on httpcore-4.2.5. Android's HttpClient seems compatible with httpcore-4.2.5, so I just excluded that dependency. My actual dependency declaration is below:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.apache.httpcomponents</groupId>
    <artifactId>httpmime</artifactId>
    <version>4.2.6</version>
    <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
            <groupId>org.apache.httpcomponents</groupId>
            <artifactId>httpcore</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependency>
