Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPCLIENT-1394:
-----------------------------------------------
Ryan
I feel somewhat uneasy about adding such a substantial chunk of code with a
number of external dependencies so late in the release process. I literally
would like to start cutting 4.3 release packages this weekend. Ideally this
code should have gone through ALPHA and BETA testing phases.
I think Sebastian's approach makes a lot of sense. Let's put this code into 4.3
as an additional module but mark is as experimental. This would enable us to
ship this functionality early without fully freezing it and committing
ourselves to maintaining its API. At a later point after gaining some
experience with it and hopefully some wider testing we can start making use of
it when it is available on the classpath via Class#forName or decide to simply
fold it into HttpClient proper.
Does this plan work for you?
