--- Begin Message ---Folks, I really think Java 1.3 does not bring anything to the table as far as HTTP communication is concerned. I am not even sure you we need Socket#shutdownOutput() at all. Currently HttpConnection#shutdownOutput is not used anywhere in HttpClient.Java 1.4 is a totally different story. I've recently delved into New I/O and am convinced it would make a lot of sense for us if we do not use multiplexed I/O. New buffering primitives in java.nio package can drastically decrease object garbage collection and improve I/O buffering. This said, I do believe that Java 1.4 dependency is a little premature at this point. Upgrade to Java 1.4 should probably coincide with the 4.0 API redesign Oleg -----Original Message----- From: Roland Weber [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thu 3/18/2004 13:51 To: Commons HttpClient Project Cc: Subject: Re: [PROPOSAL][DRAFT] Promote HttpClient to Jakarta level Hello Adrian, there is reflections stuff in: HttpConnection -> check for 1.3 HttpException -> check for 1.4 util/ExceptionUtil -> check for 1.4 You're right, if getting rid of the reflections in HttpConnection is the only improvement, there is no point in requiring JDK 1.3. Does anyone else know about other parts of the code where you would have liked to use some 1.3 functionality? Improved collection classes or so? cheers, Roland Adrian Sutton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 18.03.2004 13:27 Please respond to "Commons HttpClient Project" To: Commons HttpClient Project <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: Subject: Re: [PROPOSAL][DRAFT] Promote HttpClient to Jakarta level On 18/3/04 10:24 PM, "Roland Weber" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> (1.5) Interaction With Other Packages >> >> HttpClient relies on: >> >> * Java Development Kit (Version 1.2 or later; 1.3 or later recommended) > > I wonder whether this would be the right time > to drop support for JDK 1.2 and require 1.3 ? I generally find the right time is when there's a good reason to. Was there a 1.3 only method we wanted to use? I know 1.4 has some cool stuff but we're not going to be getting to use that for quite some time yet. > cheers, > Roland Regards, Adrian Sutton. ======================================================================= Kangaroo Point MarchFest is an annual festival of music, art, food and culture, that aims to build community spirit and bring all types of people together for a time of fun and entertainment.
