Matthias, HttpClient is niether a browser nor a crawler. It is what it is, a general purpose HTTP transport library. I think the proxy exception list is bound to be too application specific because it is very likely to require a configuration file of a sort. Any functionality that requires a configuration file or a system property in order to function correctly is definitely out of scope and will not be accepted. If you come up with a generic solution that can sit neatly on top of stock version of HttpClient it can be considered for inclusion into the semi-official 'contrib' package http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jakarta/commons/proper/httpclient/trunk/src/contrib/org/apache/commons/httpclient/contrib/ Oleg > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
