New page:
= Charter =
The following charter for '''Jakarta Http Components''' project is pending 
approval of the Jakarta Project Management Committee (PMC).

== Rationale ==
The original {{{ Jakarta Commons HttpClient API }}} has a number limitations 
that cannot be resolved without a significant architectural redesign. Moreover, 
{{{ Jakarta Commons HttpClient }}} has been increasingly used in applications 
and environments it has not been specifically designed for. The existing 
monolithic design no longer adequately reflects the use patterns of {{{ 
HttpClient }}}. {{{ HttpClient }}} needs to be refactored into a toolset of 
simple, low level HTTP components suitable for building more specialized HTTP 
services.

== Project scope ==
 * {{{ Jakarta Http Components }}} project develops a toolset of low level 
components focused exclusively at the transport aspects of HTTP protocol
 * {{{ Jakarta Http Components }}} project '''DOES NOT''' define an application 
API on top of the low level transport API
 * {{{ Jakarta Http Components }}} '''MUST''' be content agnostic. The project 
'''DOES NOT''' develop components intended to produce or consume content of 
HTTP messages
 * {{{ Jakarta Http Components }}} project continues the development of {{{ 
Jakarta HttpClient }}} (former {{{ Jakarta Commons HttpClient }}}) based on the 
toolset of HTTP components
 * {{{ Jakarta Http Components }}} project develops an HTTP connector or a 
lightweight server component as a reference material to demonstrate the 
capabilities of the toolset. The said artifacts '''ARE NOT''' meant for 
production use and are not released as official Apache Jakarta products.
 * {{{ Jakarta Http Components }}} project collaborates with other projects to 
develop specialized HTTP services for production use based on the toolset of 
HTTP components
