Should the HTTP client be modified for asynchronous responses from the server?

I recently configured my servlet for asynchronous processing with the following configuration

<async-supported>true</async-supported>

My question is: is this change transparent to the HTTP client? My client is not a web browser. This is a hardware device that performs HTTP requests, and I do not control the functionality of the client.

PS - The question arises from the fact that I recently heard about asynchronous http clients.

The simple answer is NO.

A new asynchronization mechanism is provided only for better use of threads on the server machine. As for the client, there are no changes.
