Whats the best way to make a HTTP request in a custom task?

To download a file? Or to trigger some API? Or ...?

Just use any HTTP client you like.
For simple things even just using new URL("...").openConnection() might suffice.
Or if for that API a Java wrapper exists, just use it.
Or if the API provides an OpenAPI specification you can also use a generator to generate code like https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/
