Folks There has been a _lot_ of changes in the trunk for the coming 4.2 release of HttpClient. The connection management and HTTP authentication code has been pretty much fully redesigned and re-written.
We are looking at an official ALPHA release off the trunk towards the end of the month. However, it would be _really_ great if the latest code could be tested for regressions in real world settings, especially where complex authentication schemes such as NTLM and Kerberos are employed, before an official release is cut. Many complex scenarios involving target + proxy authentication simply do not lend themselves to comprehensive testing with mocks and an embedded HTTP server. Please do try to find a few moments to try out the latest code and report regressions and bugs. The snapshots can be found at https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/snapshots/org/apache/httpcomponents/ or built from source http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpcomponents/httpclient/trunk/ Oleg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
