Yes, 1.3 doesn't bring us much. I think we should stick with 1.2 until we are ready for 1.4. As Oleg suggested, this probably won't happen for some time.

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

(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
