Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski and Sebastian Bazley Release 4.0 ------------------- HttpClient 4.0 represents a complete, 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. Architectural changes --------------------- * Redesign of the HttpClient internals addressing all known major architectural shortcomings of the 3.x codeline. * Cleaner, more flexible and expressive API. * More modular structure. * Better performance and smaller memory footprint due to a more efficient HTTP transport based on HttpCore. * Implementation of cross-cutting HTTP protocol aspects through protocol interceptors. * Improved connection management, better handling of persistent connections, support for stateful connections * Pluggable redirect and authentication handlers. * Improved support for sending requests via a proxy or a chain of proxies * More flexible SSL context customization * Reduced intermediate garbage in the process of generating HTTP requests and parsing HTTP responses Important notes ------------------- * Future releases of HttpMime module may be binary incompatible with this release due to possible API changes in Apache Mime4J. Apache Mime4J is still being actively developed and its API is considered unstable. * HttpClient 4.0 is not fully binary compatible with 4.0 BETA1 release.

Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski -------------------------------------- Release 4.0 Alpha 4 ------------------- ALPHA4 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 awards the API freeze. There has been a number of important bug fixes since ALPHA3. All upstream projects are encouraged to upgrade to the latest release. ------------------- HttpClient 3.x features that have NOT yet been ported: ------------------- * NTLM authentication scheme ------------------- Changelog: ------------------- * [HTTPCLIENT-765] String.toLowerCase() / toUpperCase() should specify Locale.ENGLISH Contributed by Sebastian Bazley * [HTTPCLIENT-769] Do not pool connection marked non-reusable.

As of this release HttpClient requires Java 5 compatible runtime environment and takes full advantage of generics and new concurrency primitives. This release also introduces new default cookie policy that selects a cookie specification depending on the format of cookies sent by the target host. 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 host. Another notable improvement is a completely reworked support for multipart entities based on Apache mime4j library. ------------------- HttpClient 3.x features that have NOT yet been ported: ------------------- * NTLM authentication scheme ------------------- Changelog: ------------------- * [HTTPCLIENT-742] common interface for HttpRoute and RouteTracker Contributed by Roland Weber * [HTTPCLIENT-741] Fixed concurrency issues in AbstractClientConnAdapter.
