Dear hakkers, We are proud to announce Akka Http 10.0.8, which is the eight release of the Akka Http 10.0 series. This is a regular maintenance release that contains several maintenance fixes, improvements and new features. Https Proxy Support
Long awaited support for configuring an HTTPS CONNECT Proxy (example for Scala <http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka-http/current/scala/http/client-side/client-transport.html#use-https-proxy-with-http-singlerequest> and Java <http://doc.akka.io/docs/akka-http/current/java/http/client-side/client-transport.html#use-https-proxy-with-http-get-singlerequest>) for the client has arrived. Thanks a lot, Michal Sitko (@note) <https://github.com/note>, who implemented the feature. Support for proxies that require authentication is yet to be implemented and is tracked by the ticket #1213 <https://github.com/akka/akka-http/issues/1213>. Ability to express textual content types with missing character set Akka-http has a strongly typed media type / content type system, and knows at compile time about which media types are supposed to express a character set attribute, e.g. text/plain; charset=UTF-8. Before this release, akka would silently assume UTF-8 for ContentTypeinstances of media types with a missing charset attribute. >From now on, content types missing a charset can be both parsed and expressed directly, using the new ContentType.WithMissingCharset trait/class. - For incoming Content-Type headers with values missing a charset, such as text/plain, the header ContentType will be represented as WithMissingCharset, rather than assuming an UTF-8 charset (which could have been a wrong guess). - If you need to create such a content type programmatically, use e.g. MediaTypes.`text/plain`.withMissingCharset (scala) or MediaTypes.TEXT_PLAIN.toContentTypeWithMissingCharset() (java). Note to scala users: If you have match statements across ContentType, keep an eye out for new compiler hints. You need to decide what what to do in case you get a content type with a missing character set, by adding a ContentType.WithMissingCharset case. Server-Sent Events Support Support for Server-Sent events was added by merging akka-sse project by @hseeberger <https://github.com/hseeberger>. Thank you very much, Heiko!
