Changes since 4.0 Alpha 2 ------------------- * [HTTPCLIENT-735] unsetting of DEFAULT_PROXY and FORCED_ROUTE in hierarchies Contributed by Roland Weber * [HTTPCLIENT-723] route planner based on java.net.ProxySelector Contributed by Roland Weber * [HTTPCLIENT-740] don't start connection GC thread in pool constructor Contributed by Roland Weber * [HTTPCLIENT-736] route planners use SchemeRegistry instead of ConnManager Contributed by Roland Weber * [HTTPCLIENT-730] Fixed rewriting of URIs containing escaped characters Contributed by Sam Berlin and Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCLIENT-667] Added 'Meta' cookie specification that selects a cookie policy depending on the format of the cookie(s). It is no longer necessary to know beforehand what kind of HTTP cookie support the target host provides. HttpClient is now able to pick up either a lenient or a strict cookie policy depending on the compliance level of the target server. Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCLIENT-729] Move HttpRoute and related classes to routing package. Contributed by Roland Weber * [HTTPCLIENT-725] Use TimeUnit arguments for timeouts in connection manager. Contributed by Roland Weber * [HTTPCLIENT-677] Connection manager no longer uses Thread.interrupt(). Contributed by Roland Weber * [HTTPCLIENT-716] Allow application-defined routes. Contributed by Roland Weber * [HTTPCLIENT-712] Improve HttpRoute API Contributed by Roland Weber * [HTTPCLIENT-711] Bad route computed for redirected requests Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCLIENT-715] Remove RoutedRequest from API Contributed by Roland Weber * [HTTPCLIENT-705] Fixed incorrect handling of URIs with null path component. Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCLIENT-688] HttpOptions#getAllowedMethods can now handle multiple Allow headers. Contributed by Andrea Selva Release 4.0 Alpha 2 ------------------- ALPHA2 release is another milestone in the redesign of HttpClient. It includes a number of improvements since ALPHA1, among which are improved connection pooling, support for proxy chains, redesigned HTTP state and authentication credentials management API, improved RFC 2965 cookie specification. ------------------- HttpClient 3.x features that have NOT yet been ported ------------------- * NTLM authentication scheme * Support for multipart MIME coded entities ------------------- ------------------- Changelog ------------------- * [HTTPCLIENT-698] Resolve non-absolute redirect URIs relative to the request URI Contributed by Johannes Koch * [HTTPCLIENT-697] Throw a more intelligible exception when connection to a remote host cannot be established. Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCLIENT-689] Caching of SimpleDateFormat in DateUtils Contributed by Daniel Müller * [HTTPCLIENT-689] stackable parameters in AbstractHttpClient Contributed by Roland Weber * [HTTPCLIENT-477] Use distinct instances of the authentication handler interface for authentication with target and proxy hosts Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCLIENT-690] ManagedClientConnection provides access to SSLSession Contributed by Roland Weber * [HTTPCLIENT-692] ClientConnectionManager throws InterruptedException Contributed by Roland Weber * [HTTPCORE-116] moved parameter names to interfaces Contributed by Roland Weber * [HTTPCLIENT-649] support for proxy chains in HttpConn Contributed by Roland Weber * [HTTPCLIENT-636] refactor ThreadSafeClientConnManager in separate package Contributed by Roland Weber * [HTTPCLIENT-669] new HttpRoutePlanner interface and implementation Contributed by Andrea Selva * [HTTPCLIENT-653] detached connection wrapper no longer prevents garbage collection of ThreadSafeClientConnManager Contributed by Roland Weber * [HTTPCLIENT-674] use org.apache.http.util.VersionInfo instead of a local one Contributed by Roland Weber * [HTTPCLIENT-666] Replaced HttpState with CredentialsProvier and CookieStore interfaces Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCORE-100] revised HttpContext hierarchy Contributed by Roland Weber * [HTTPCLIENT-618] eliminate class HostConfiguration Contributed by Roland Weber * [HTTPCLIENT-672] re-sync with API changes in core alpha6-SNAPSHOT Contributed by Roland

ground-up redesign and almost a complete rewrite of the HttpClient 3.x codeline. This release finally addresses several design flaws that existed since the 1.0 release and could not be fixed without a major code overhaul and breaking API compatibility. The HttpClient 4.0 API is still very experimental and is bound to change during the course of the ALPHA development phase. Several important features have not yet been ported to the new API. Architectural changes --------------------- * Redesign of the HttpClient internals addressing all known major architectural shortcomings of the 3.x codeline * Cleaner, more flexible and expressive API * Better performance and smaller memory footprint due to a more efficient HTTP transport based on HttpCore. HttpClient 4.0 is expected to be 10% to 25% faster than HttpClient 3.x codeline * More modular structure * Pluggable redirect and authentication handlers * Support for protocol incerceptors * Improved connection management * Improved support for sending requests via a proxy or a chain of proxies * Improved handling redirects of entity enclosing requests * More flexible SSL context customization * Reduced intermediate garbage in the process of generating HTTP requests and parsing HTTP responses ------------------- HttpClient 3.x features that have NOT yet been ported ------------------- * NTLM authentication scheme * RFC2965 cookie policy (Cookie2) * Support for multipart MIME coded entities ------------------- Changelog ------------------- The following is a list of contributions tracked in JIRA. Note that this is not a complete list of contributions or changes. Since the API was redesigned completely, tracking everything outside of the source code repository would have been too burdensome. * [HTTPCLIENT-655] User-Agent string no longer violates RFC Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCLIENT-541] Virtual host API redesign Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCLIENT-614] Allow for different strategies when checking CN of x509 certificates Contributed by Julius Davies * [HTTPCLIENT-136] Fixed inadequate proxy support Long standing architectural problem. Issue opened on 19/Dec/2002. Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCLIENT-63] Support for pluggable redirect and authentication handlers Long standing architectural problem. Issue opened on 15/Jul/2002. Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCLIENT-245] Fixed redirect handling. HttpClient can now automatically handle redirects of entity enclosing requests. Long standing architectural problem. Issue opened on 14/Jul/2003. Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCLIENT-613] HTTPS connections now verify CN of x509 certificates Contributed by Julius Davies * [HTTPCLIENT-497] Wire/header logger names consistent with class loggers Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCLIENT-484] AuthSSLProtocolSocketFactory in the main distribution Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCLIENT-589] Do not consume the remaining response content if the connection is to be closed Contributed by Roland Weber * [HTTPCLIENT-475] Support for unconnected sockets. HTTP requests can now be aborted while network socket is still being connected. Contributed by Roland Weber
