Florian Müller commented on CMIS-615:
-------------------------------------
@[~pmonks]: OpenCMIS is currently using the Java built-in HttpURLConnection.
There is no external 3rd party dependency to stay up to date with. Using
HttpClient would introduce a new dependency, which - in the long run - could be
more painful for developers than not doing it.
@[~ajmas]: There is also SPNEGO support for HttpURLConnection. What's wrong
with that?
I'm reluctant to make any changes here because they wouldn't cover the Web
Services binding implementation, which means we would have to support two
different HTTP clients.
> Change HttpUtils to use httpclient-4.x

> It would be useful to convert HttpUtils to use httpclient 4.2.x. One of the
> benefits for this, is that environments that use Kerberos, for example,
> SPNEGO can be used for authentication.
