Jon The trouble is that Google made it quite clear they were not going to upgrade HttpClient in Android. To make matters worse they will continue shipping their outdated pre-BETA version with Android for releases to come. I have no problem with making httpclient-cache compatible with Android but at the same time I think users we should be encouraging Android users to migrate to the latest release of HttpClient nonetheless.
