Thanks for the advice, Jerome. By staying with Simple webserver, and using Apache httpclient explicitly (ie., not using the restlet-provided Client class), we have a stable release. We explicitly release every place there is an entity to read, both client- and server-side.
Much thanks for pointing me at the roadmap, as well. I'll be following with great interest. -- Eric On Mon, Aug 11, 2008 at 8:01 AM, Jerome Louvel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Hi Eric, > > We have some bugs to squash before Restlet 1.1 RC1, especially in the > internal connectors.
