The following changes have been made since RC2:
* HTTP status line parser changed to be more robust when dealing with non-compliant
HTTP responses (leading blanks before 'HTTP' signature).
* Fixed NPE in HttpMethodBase#responseBodyConsumed().
* 24309 - Changed MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager to move to a single connection
GC thread. Fixed memory and thread leaks.
* 24327 - Fixed a bug where HttpClient did not reset the 'force-close connection'
flag, when an HTTP method was automatically retried (for instance, when automatically
handling an authentication challenge).
* 24352 - Fixed the bug causing basic authentication via NLTM Proxy to fail.
* 25370 - Connections are now closed and released automatically when an unrecoverable
exception occurs in HttpMethodBase.processRequest().
* 23866 - Fixed possible uncaught IllegalArgumentException in Cookie parsing.
* 25264 - Added support for cookies with a domain attribute '.domain.com' issued by
host 'domain.com' in the browser compatibility mode. Even though the cookie violates
RFC 2109 it still gets accepted by mainstream browsers (tested with Mozilla Firebird and IE).
* 24869 - Changed DigestScheme to only accept a challenge if all fields required
by RFC 2617 are present.
* 24671 - Added ISO-8859-1 support for digest authentication passwords, and basic authentication
user names and passwords.
* Javadoc enhancements.
