RFE: Make Credentials Serializable
----------------------------------
Key: HTTPCLIENT-916
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-916
Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: HttpClient
Affects Versions: 4.0.1
Reporter: Daniel Gredler
Priority: Minor
I've been working on upgrading the HtmlUnit library to use HttpClient 4, and
I've realized that we could eliminate some hackish internal code if Credentials
instances were Serializable. I don't really see a downside, and this would be a
huge convenience for us.
The change would involve making the org.apache.http.auth.Credentials interface
extend Serializable, and having org.apache.http.auth.BasicUserPrincipal and
org.apache.http.auth.NTUserPrincipal implement Serializable (plus
serialVersionUIDs where appropriate, I guess).
