Ryan Schmitt updated HTTPCLIENT-1983:
-------------------------------------
Description:
In 4.5.7, the behavior of URIBuilder changed in order to address
HTTPCLIENT-1960. Since that version was released, I have seen a concerning
number of users complain that this change has broken their code (see issue
links). In 4.5.8, as a result of HTTPCLIENT-1968, an option was added to allow
users to opt in to the old behavior, but the new behavior is what they will get
by default. This problem is difficult to work around for developers who cannot
exercise exact control over the runtime version of HttpClient: the method they
need might not be there, and if it is, it needs to be controlled reflectively,
or in a way that tolerates a {{NoSuchMethodError}}.
For the sake of compatibility, I propose that we change the default value of
{{normalizeUri}} to {{false}}. This will be the default on the 4.5.x line only;
the 5.0.x line, as well as any future 4.6.x line, will normalize by default (if
an option is needed at all).
