问题
Specifically I want to call MKCOL through HttpClient to create a folder for Apache Jackrabbit through the Sling REST API.
I've tried variants of
BasicHttpEntityEnclosingRequest request = new BasicHttpEntityEnclosingRequest("MKCOL", restUrl);
But no dice so far. I'm guessing this is less difficult than I'm making it.
I also see there is MkColMethod for something like
MkColMethod mkColMethod = new MkColMethod(restUrl);
But I don't know how to utilize this. I think it may have worked with a previous version of HttpClient. I'm using 4.x

Best is to look at the Sling integration tests, which use Sling's RESTful APIs to create content.
The "old" SlingIntegrationTestClient class [1] is used to test Sling itself and uses httpclient 3.x to create content. It is used by the tests found at [2], so you can find examples there.
The "new" SlingClient class [3] is meant to be a cleaner and simpler re-implementation of that, used by the Sling testing tools described at http://sling.apache.org/site/sling-testing-tools.html . It uses httpclient 4.x which has a slightly different API.
The SlingClient.mkdir and mkdirs methods do use the MKCOL method.

The best answer is to use Sardine. http://sardine.googlecode.com/
It is absurd to have to look at a bunch of unit tests to figure out who to use webdav.
