I've written a patch for the 2.2.1 source code that upgrades the protocol-httpclient to httpclient 4.1.1
Unfortunately I had to adjust the test because currently httpclient 4.1.1 does not support authenticating with different credentials against different realms in the same domain: HTTPCLIENT-1490<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1490> . The reason I picked version 4.1.1 and not the latest is because I noticed it is already in the build/lib dir and I wasn't sure I can use two versions of the jar with the same namespace without creating conflicts. My questions are: 1) Anyone needs this patch or did I took the wrong path in choosing 4.1.1? 2) If so, under what JIRA issue should I submit it? NUTCH-751? NUTCH-1086? something else? new issue?
