## Description:

The mission of HttpComponents is the creation and maintenance of
software related to Java toolset of low level HTTP components

## Issues:

There are no issues requiring attention of the Board at this point.

## Membership Data:

Apache HttpComponents was founded 2007-11-14 (12 years ago)
There are currently 19 committers and 10 PMC members in this project.
The Committer-to-PMC ratio is roughly 5:3.

Community changes, past quarter:
- No new PMC members. Last addition was Ryan Schmitt on 2019-08-28.
- No new committers. Last addition was Ryan Schmitt on 2018-11-13.

## Project Activity:

The project team is preparing the first GA release of HttpCore 5.0 and 
HttpClient 5.0 component libraries. This marks the end of a 5 year
long development cycle and is a major milestone for the project.  

Recent releases:
* HttpClient 5.0-beta7 was released on 2020-01-27.
* HttpClient 4.5.11 GA was released on 2020-01-20.

## Community Health:

Overall the project remains active. 

With 5.0 development phase completed we expect the main focus of 
the project to shift from development to maintenance and user support
for some while. 

We planning to start a discussion on the development list about 
the 5.1 development project, its main objectives, scope and timeline.

  the form of pull requests at Github but so far there is no one meriting
  a consideration for project committership.

 libraries which would mark a formal completion of a 4 year long development 
 cycle. We are about start a discussion about directions and the scope of 
 future development efforts. 

## Community Health:

I am not sure what the board means in the comment of 8/17 below, when 
the board requested for this information
from reporter.apache.org in its feedback on 5/18. Also 
reporter.apache.org presents this information to be used as

the "Report template".

• 2016-08-17: (thread)

gs: the bulk of this report is a cut/paste from reporter.a.o :-( ...
with hundreds of emails on the dev@ list, how can there be no
new committers and so little information about the community?

• 2016-05-18: (thread)

mh: Please supply dates for when the last committer was elected and
the last PMC member was elected. You can get that information
from reporter.apache.org.

Status report for the Apache HttpComponents project - 08/2009
-

-- Status --

Right after releasing HttpCore 4.0 GA, development of HttpClient resumed
in full force and the project is proud to have reached another milestone
this month: HttpClient 4.0 GA.

The project in general is doing very fine, there are no issues requiring
attention of the board.

-- Releases --

We have had two releases since the last report:

  22 June 2009 - HttpComponents Core 4.0.1
  13 August 2009 - HttpComponents Client 4.0

-- Community --

The project was not able to attract any new committers since the last  
report

although the user base is vibrant as ever.

As a result of several well-know products using HttpCore and/or  
HttClient we

are seeing continued interest in the project.

-- Development --

In the last two month the project focussed on getting HttpClient 4.0  
finished
and released. This includes improvements to the documentation and  
resulted in

a dedicated tutorial on the new HttpClient.

The project is now actively moving into the direction of HttpCore 4.1;  
a first

alpha release for developer cponsumption has been put together recently.

As a result of reaching the major HttpCore 4.0 milestone development has
slowed down a bit. Focus is being put on finishing the documentation for
HttpClient as well as doing general fixes & improvements in anticipation
of the GA release of HttpClient 4.0.

-- Status --

All is good in the land of HttpComponents: the project team is eagerly
working on hammering out that last issues with HttpCore 4.0 Final; the
release vote is imminent.

-- Releases --

We have had one release since the last report:

  20 December 2008 - HttpComponents HttpClient 4.0 beta 2

-- Community --

We have recently re-confirmed by vote to finally remove the author tags
which are still existent in various old bits of (legacy) code; there was
no discussion, simply a re-affirmation before going ahead and removing
them.

The user community is thriving as ever; the committership is stable and
also very happy to finally arrive at a major milestone with HttpCore  
4.0.


-- Development --

In the last two months development has been focussed on improving the
documentation for HttpCore. This resulted in a complete set of API docs
as well as specialized articles for HttpCore 4.0 - kudos to Oleg for his
impressive work.

Status report for the Apache HttpComponents project - 12/2008
-

-- Status --

This is the fourth report in a row so there's nothing really new, except
for some end-of-year numbers.

-- Releases --

We have had one release since the last report:

  19 October 2008 - HttpComponents HttpCore 4.0 beta 3

We are also currently in the process of voting on a release candidate  
for

HttpComponents HttpClient 4.0 beta 2.

In total we have had seven releases this year:

  24 January 2008 - HttpComponents HttpCore 4.0 beta 1
  25 February 2008 - HttpComponents HttpClient 4.0 alpha 3
  07 May 2008 - HttpComponents HttpClient 4.0 alpha 4
  17 June 2008 - HttpComponents HttpCore 4.0 beta 2
  29 August 2008 - HttpComponents HttpClient 4.0 beta 1
  19 October 2008 - HttpComponents HttpCore 4.0 beta 3
  ?? December 2008 - HttpComponents HttpClient 4.0 beta 2 (TBD)

-- Community --

As indicated in the last report, we have finally restored access for one
of our committers from the early days at Jakarta, Sean Sullivan, at the
beginning of November.

All in all the project made good progress over the year: several new
contributors joind the project as committers and the overall usage of  
the

project gained new heights (especially due to some prominent users like
Google Android and Limewire). We were also able to induce some press
interest and, in the end, even received an award.

-- Development --

Actual development has slowed down a little bit after the latest release
but we were able to make valuable progress on the documentation.

The 'norobots' codebase (which was inherited as an experiment) also  
finally

found a new home at the Droids project currently in icubation.

The user as well as the developer communities are still as vibrant as  
ever.

2008-11-19 Thread Erik Abele

Hi,

I just found out that HttpComponents was supposed to report this month  
too.


It seems like something is a tiny bit off here but maybe I'm just  
overly confused: we reported just last month, and the month before  
that so with this time it would be three times in a row...?


Anyway, attached is a quick report - though it's probably way too late  
already... :(


Cheers,
Erik

Status report for the Apache HttpComponents project - 10/2008
-

-- Status --

We have reported just last month so there is not very much to say in  
this
months' report. In fact we are wondering why we have to report this  
time:

shouldn't we fall back to the normal schedule after a missed report?

-- Releases --

We have had no release since the last report but there's another beta  
release

for HttpCore in the pipeline (we're currently voting on the candidates).

-- Community --

There were no arrivals or departures since the last report.

We're very happy to inform the Board that HttpClient was among the 60  
winners
of InfoWorlds "Best of Open Source Software Awards 2008" (BOSSIE); it  
was

selected as one of the best open source development tools:

http://www.infoworld.com/slideshow/2008/08/166-best_of_open_so-4.html

We're also happy to report that Erik Abele was interviewed by the
"Software Development Times" in regard to the projects current status  
and
its future plans - the PRC is aware of that and we'll update them as  
soon

as we've seen the outcome.

There is also the regular activity on all fronts; overall the whole
community still looks and behaves very healthy.

-- Migration --

Items still in work:

- finalize and approve project bylaws
- re-instate deployment of website via Subversion
  (currently deployed by Maven due to TLP migration)

-- Development --

Development is progressing at its usual pace; there were quite a few  
fixes

in HttpCore so we are anticipating the next release (beta3) very soon.

We are also very happy to see that Sam Ruby was chosen to further  
pursue the

discussions around the NTLM licensing issues.

--> SNIP <--

I've also added the report to the agenda in parallel.

Cheers,
Erik

[quarterly reporting schedule]

-- Status --

There are no items needing immediate attention of the board except to
note that we've missed the last report due to my fault - I'm again very
sorry for that.

Fortunately Oleg Kalnichevski immediately stepped up to make sure that  
we

are not missing it again this months - thanks!

-- Releases --

We have had one release since the last report:

  29 August 2008 - HttpComponents HttpClient 4.0 beta 1

-- Community --

No arrivals or departures.

We have been getting a reasonable amount of feedback and contributions
in terms of patches and development ideas. A number of patches have been
contributed by the users of Apache Synapse.

Several committers on the project expressed willingness to support the
incubation of the Droids project, currently at home at Apache Labs.
Droids is an intelligent standalone robot framework that may become a  
part
of the HttpComponents community after incubation. An alternative  
destination
of Droids may be the Lucene TLP in case a too strong emphasis on the  
HTTP

protocol proves to be too constraining for Droids.

There is quite some activity on both user and developer mailing lists.
Overall the whole community looks and behaves quite healthy.

-- Migration --

Items still in work:

- finalize and approve project bylaws
- re-instate deployment of website via Subversion
  (currently deployed by Maven due to TLP migration)

-- Development --

HttpClient beta1 has been released.

The first beta brings yet another round of API enhancements and  
improvements

in the area of connection management. Among the most notable ones is the
capability to handle stateful connections such as persistent NTLM  
connections

and private key authenticated SSL connections.

This is the first API stable release of HttpClient 4.0. All further  
releases

in the 4.0 code line will maintain API compatibility with this release.

General Notes.

HttpClient & HttpCore are now shipped with the Google Android platform.
We see this a major endorsement of our work.

The project is also still waiting for an answer from MS in regard to the
licenses required for an implementation of NTLM. We have been quiet  
about
that in the last couple of months but will try to resume activity in  
this

area around ApacheCon US.

I've also added the report to the agenda in parallel.

Status Report for the Apache HttpComponents project, June 2008  
[quarterly reporting schedule]


--> SNIP <--

-- Status --

There are no items needing immediate attention of the board except to
note that we've missed the last report. We're very sorry for that and
we'll ensure that this does not happen again.

See below for more details.

-- Releases --

We have had three releases since the last report:

  25 February 2008 - HttpComponents HttpClient 4.0 alpha 3
  07 May 2008 - HttpComponents HttpClient 4.0 alpha 4
  17 June 2008 - HttpComponents HttpCore 4.0 beta 2

-- Community --

Roland Weber has decided to go emeritus on the PMC (March 16 2008).

We have voted in a new committer, Sam Berlin, at the beginning of May;
by now he is fully equipped with karma and happily hacking away.

The amount of messages on the users mailinglist is steadily increasing,
and in general the whole community looks and behaves very healthy.

-- Migration --

Items still in work:

- finalize and approve project bylaws
- re-instate deployment of website via Subversion
  (currently deployed by Maven due to TLP migration)

-- Development --

HttpCore beta2 has been released.

The release adds a number of improvements to the NIO components, most
notably having improved asynchronous client side and server side  
protocol

handlers. There have also been a number of important bug fixes in the
HttpCore NIO module, whereas the HttpCore Base module has had very few
changes. The focus of the development efforts is now gradually shifting
towards providing better test coverage, documentation and performance
optimizations.

HttpClient alpha3 and alpha4 have been released.

The last release marks the completion of the overhaul of the connection
management code in HttpClient. All known shortcomings of the old  
HttpClient

3.x connection management API have been addressed. NTLM authentication
remains the only missing major feature in the new codeline that prevents
us from moving toward the API freeze.

General Notes.

The PMC was contacted by some Google folks in regard to their usage of
HttpClient in Android. We agreed to coordinate the timeframe for the API
freeze to enable them to incorporate the latest code without drawbacks.

As indicated above, the project is still waiting for an answer from  
MS in

regard to the licenses required for an implementation of NTLM. In the
meantime several alternative solutions have been explored, without any
conclusions as of yet.

As noted in the last report, the HttpComponents project is in compliance
with the crypto export and notification policy.

--> SNIP <--

Sorry for the May report which I missed - see private lists for an  
explanation.


Cheers,
Erik
