They were not performance problems. There were some issues related to using multiple threads, which would sometimes cause the httpclient library to fail. There was also a logging message produce in the internals of httpclient that was difficult to turn off - but now that we are using log4j this should be straightforward. There was a bug in chunked encoding handling that would cause hangs. There were also other intermittent problems with this library, so after much deliberation we decided to leave the simpler plugin as the default ... These issues may have been solved in a newer version of httpclient library. -- Best regards, Andrzej Bialecki <>< ___. ___ ___ ___ _ _ __________________________________ [__ || __|__/|__||\/| Information Retrieval, Semantic Web ___|||__|| \| || | Embedded Unix, System Integration http://www.sigram.com Contact: info at sigram dot com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
