Martin Ramshaw looked into the Commons HTTPClient a while back. According to him, it's a 100% java solution, and he was concerned about how it would perform as a result. He also was concerned about threading issues, since the Commons Client re-uses connections by default, and it's uncertain whether that behavior is controllable from the API offered.
However, I have doubts that the performance is significant compared to just the waiting around for a server to respond. Regarding the threading, I'm not convinced the Sun's solution doesn't suffer from the same problems. Ideally, a new protocol would be developed for JMeter that used the Commons HTTPClient and it could then compete with the current protocol, and people could decide for themselves which they preferred. -Mike On 2 Jan 2003 at 0:00, Scott Eade wrote: > On 31/12/2002 9:49 AM, "Jordi Salvat i Alabart" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > 1.4 JDKs have a pretty serious performance bug in the URL.encode method. > > You'll run much MUCH faster if you use JDK 1.3 or you don't encode your > > parameters, etc. > > Why don't we switch to an encoder that does not suffer from this problem - > presumably the commons httpclient will include such a method somewhere (but > undoubtedly others exist). > > I guess as a more general question, are the JMeter developers considering > using any of the APIs offered by commons?
