Folks The HTTP/2 transport in trunk has been shaping up reasonably well. I have made some good progress recently and am cautiously optimistic that there should be a HttpCore 5.0 alpha release with the new non-blocking HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/2 transports within a month or two. HttpClient 5.0 alpha should follow in Jan 2017.
There is a few points I wanted to discuss and get some feedback upon. (1) I no longer see any reason to continue developing the classic (blocking) server side transport. We only use it for integration tests internally for integration tests and I feel there is no reason to not use non-blocking transport for all integration tests instead. (2) What would you say about HttpCore 5.0 remaining Java 7 compatible but HttpClient 5.0 requiring Java 8? I do not see HC 5.0 going GA any time sooner than Q4 2017. By that time Java 9 should be out and Java 8 might be approaching EOL. Two years ago Java 7 compatibility sounded like a good idea but it looks less so today. (3) Never ending trouble with logging toolkits. Should be remain faithful to Commons Logging or shall we finally migrate to SLF4J? What do you think?
