Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPCORE-615:
--------------------------------------------

{quote}The complex exception handler code is just a general re-implementation 
of Java 8 try-with-resources for Java 6{quote}

[~sgifford] Here is what I suggest that we should do

# Please port your code to master (5.0). This would enable you to use native 
try-with-resources available since Java 7.
# I do not think we should accept the benchmark into HttpClient proper. You can 
host it at GitHub and add a reference to it on the project web site if you 
like. 
# Annotate `MemcachedCacheEntryHttp` as experimental for now.

>             Project: HttpComponents HttpCore

>            Reporter: Scott W Gifford
>            Priority: Major
>
> HTTPCORE-578 was caused by the brittleness of using Java Object Serialization 
> to store cache objects.  Java Object Serialization requires careful 
> understanding of what sorts of changes require a new serialization version, 
> with small mistakes leading to surprising results; further Java Object 
> Serialization has security issues, and will be an optional feature in 
> upcoming Java releases (with Jigsaw).  It would be better to have a more 
> stable serialization approach.
> Since the Apache client already knows how to communicate with HTTP, one 
> simple approach would be to serialize as if we were writing to an HTTP 
> client, and deserialize as if we were reading from an HTTP server.
> I have developed a serializer that does that, and would like to contribute it 
> back to the Apache project.
