Hello Oleg, Thank you for your quick reply.
I am excited to hear about the feature coming to 4.4. I just started using the mailing lists this morning and was reading that in 4.4 the minimum required JRE version may change from 1.5 to 1.6 or even to 1.7, is this still the case? Also, I've never built anything with Maven before. I tried to set it up at work but was unable to as I could not set the $JAVA_HOME environment variable. Is maven actually required to build Httpclient or is there some other way? I don't have a lot of experience with building from other peoples source and I keep getting a java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError whenever I try to run the code using the new Auth scheme factory. I am sorry for the somewhat unrelated question.
