    The long term plan is to use HttpCore in HttpComponents. See thread:

this will happen all the more quickly if contributors step up and lend a hand.

chuck - sounds you like you have a real itch: want to help us scratch it?
Yes, I do. Unlike some others on the list, I need to deliver a robust product using axis2 in just a few months. I chose axis2 because of its architecture, basis in stax, support for streaming, and position to be the Java soap platform of the future, but I need to make my use of it solid now. I have a dedicated soap service component and definitely want to use a thin built-in http server rather than say a full tomcat installation.

Robert, are you connected with HttpCore? Do you know if I could grab it now and create a replacement for SimpleHTTPServer and friends based on it? Are there others with a similar need now who want to coordinate/collaborate? I don't mind fixing some bugs or adding a few features along the way, as I'm doing with axis2.

Chuck
Chuck,

You can find some info on the HttpComponents project here:
http://jakarta.apache.org/httpcomponents/index.html

I'll throw together a drop-in replacement for SimpleHTTPServer based on HttpCore this weekend and post a patch against Axis2 SVN trunk. Essentially this is all it takes to create a simple HTTP server based on HttpCore:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jakarta/httpcomponents/httpcore/trunk/src/examples/org/apache/http/examples/ElementalHttpServer.java

It will be hugely appreciated if you could help me test it and see how well (or badly) it fares.

Mind you, HttpCore is still an early ALPHA. We are not prepared to freeze the API yet. However, it is very much the proverbial chicken and egg situation: the more people start testing HttpCore in real life applications and give us feedback the sooner we can finalize the API and stabilize the code.

Cheers,

Oleg
