There are two bugs in HttpClient I've noticed. One is the simple
matter that the HTTP request is escaped. It should not be. THe
fix for this:
Index: HttpMethodBase.java
===================================================================
RCS file:
/home/cvspublic/jakarta-commons/httpclient/src/java/org/apache/commons/httpclient/HttpMethodBase.java,v
retrieving revision 1.55
diff -r1.55 HttpMethodBase.java

< buf.append((null == reqPath)
< ? "/" : URIUtil.encode(reqPath, URIUtil.pathSafe()));
---
> buf.append(null == reqPath ? "/" : reqPath);
The next is that you cannot execute two methods in a row (to the same
url, with different parameters, say), instead you had to close
and create a new HttpClient. THe solution is simple, we just have to
make sure our session is closed before we open a new one. The
patch is:
Index: HttpClient.java

BTW, for some reason I cannot subscribe to any of the jakarta lists.
So if you want to communicate with me, it would be most reliable to
mail me back at this address.
