Hi all,
I was thinking that one of the most annoying aspects of current releases of HttpClient (as far as I'm concerned) is that it depends upon commons-logging, and as such it's not always easy to mix-and-match with other Java APIs that use different versions of commons-logging. By settling on Java 1.4, you could use the built-in logging API (any shortcomings can be addressed by dropping in custom handlers and formatters, it's not difficult, if the user requires it).
Another possible advantage of 1.4 is that it builds in all the JSSE and JCE stuff that's useful for SSL and NTLM support.

Roland,
I am +1 to try to keep http-common API Java 1.3 compatible. I would not worry about http-common-implIO and concentrate exclusively on NIO impl until some real J2ME demand materializes backed by a number of contributers.
