:) And you're both wrong. An Apple, A Car.

This is what my English grammar book says about this:

<paraphrased text>
A is used before words beginning with a consonant sound. An is used before 
words beginning with a vowel sound.

Here are some examples of where the rule applies:

An honor, an honest man (h is silent)
a used car, a university, a one-eyed man

An http client seems quite reasonable to me.
