That idea sounds awesome to me - I may even do it. How would you like such a thing implemented? As a script? A diff against "regular" httpclient?
Interestingly, for the case of HttpClient-Cache, my original problem would not be solved by this approach. HttpClient-Cache uses EntityUtils.consume statically, and there's no way to fix that. Perhaps a simple change to not use EntityUtils.consume and thus conform to the HttpClient 4.0 API would be alright? Also, I confirmed with that change, HttpClient-Cache works in Android (the jar, that is) and the compiled jar only uses HttpClient 4.0 APIs. The unit tests, however, use methods from beyond the 4.0 API and thus do not run against HttpClient 4.0. olegk wrote: > > On Thu, Nov 10, 2011 at 11:49:09AM -0800, candrews wrote: >> >> I thought of that, but it won't work when an Android app has dependencies >> that use HttpClient. >> >> I use Spring Android Rest Template.
