We're probably long overdue for a 2.0 release. Mark, Dion, everyone else: what do you think? Are there outstanding issues that need to be addressed? We should probably do a 2.0 beta release at least, to get semi-formal release of the fixes and features that are in the nightly builds.

I looked into CVS and noticed that several bugs that I encountered have already been fixed in CVS (I was using Release 2.0 Alpha 1 - 5 October 2001). I'm sorry for the poor wording in my previous email, my overall experience with httpclient is good. However, I'm having some tough time to convince my bosses that we should use an Alpha software in our product. This is important to me because they would force me to write a JNI wrapper for Wininet if I can't convince them :( I think it would be great if we can wrap all the great changes in httpclient after last October and make at least a beta version of it available. Thanks for the great works!

Have you been experiencing specific bugs? -----Original Message----- From: Xiaowei Jiang [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2002 1:11 PM To: 'Jakarta Commons Developers List' Subject: [httpclient] release and development questions I'm currently using HttpClient in my crawler project. It seems to be the only Java HttpClient which has compatible license for a comercial product. However, in the process, I find the stability of httpclient a big issue. I looked into the CVS and find that there was almost no checkins for the last month. As the stability of an Http Client is a must for a crawler project, I'm very interested to know if there is any definite development and release plans for httpclient? I would also be appreciated if anyone can point to some alternatives. Thanks!
