Changes since 4.0
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
* [HTTPCLIENT-889] 'expect: continue' handshake disabled per default.
|
|
Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski <olegk at apache.org>
|
|
|
|
* [HTTPCLIENT-862] Extended client's redirect handling interface to allow
|
|
control of the content of the redirect.
|
|
Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski <olegk at apache.org>
|
|
|
|
* [HTTPCLIENT-872] HttpClient can now persist authentication data between request
|
|
executions as long as they share the same execution context. It has also become
|
|
much easier to make HttpClient authenticate preemptively by pre-populating
|
|
authentication data cache.
|
|
Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski <olegk at apache.org>
|
|
|
|
* [HTTPCLIENT-885] URLEncodedUtils now correctly parses form-url-encoded
|
|
entities that specify a charset.
|
|
Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski <olegk at apache.org>
|
|
|
|
* [HTTPCLIENT-883] SO_TIMEOUT is not reset on persistent (re-used) connections.
|
|
Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski <olegk at apache.org>
|
|
|
|
* [HTTPCLIENT-882] Auth state is not correctly updated if a successful NTLM
|
|
authentication results in a redirect. This is a minor bug as HttpClient
|
|
manages to recover from the problem automatically.
|
|
Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski <olegk at apache.org>
|
|
|
|
* [HTTPCLIENT-881] Fixed race condition in AbstractClientConnAdapter that makes
|
|
it possible for an aborted connection to be returned to the pool.
|
|
Contributed by Tim Boemker <tboemker at elynx.com> and
|
|
Oleg Kalnichevski <olegk at apache.org>
|
|
|
|
* [HTTPCLIENT-832] Distinguish cookie format errors from violations of
|
|
restrictions imposed by a cookie specification. In the latter case
|
|
CookieRestrictionViolationException will be thrown.
|
|
Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski <olegk at apache.org>
|
|
|
|
* [HTTPCLIENT-523] Support for SPNEGO authentication scheme.
|
|
Contributed by Matthew Stevenson <mavricknzwork at yahoo.com>
|
|
|
|
* Simplified configuration of connection managers. Total connection maximum
|
|
and maximum connection per route limits can be set using methods of
|
|
the class instead of HTTP parameters.
|
|
Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski <olegk at apache.org>
|
|
|
|
* Added parameters to define the order of preference for supported auth
|
|
schemes for target host and proxy authentication.
|
|
Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski <olegk at apache.org>
|
|
|
|
* [HTTPCLIENT-875] DefaultClientConnectionOperator#openConnection doesn't
|
|
update the connection state if the connection socket changed after
|
|
the call to SocketFactory#connectSocket().
|
|
Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski <olegk at apache.org>
|
|
|
|
* [HTTPCLIENT-834] Transparent content encoding support.

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.
|
|
Some protected variables in connection management class have been
|
|
made final in order to help ensure their thread safety:

|
|
|

|
discovered since the previous release.

4.0 Beta 1
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
BETA1 release 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.
|
|
|
|
There has been a number of important bug fixes since ALPHA4. All upstream
|
|
projects are encouraged to upgrade to the latest release.
|
|
|
|
Please note HttpClient currently provides only limited support for NTLM
|
|
authentication. For details please see NTLM_SUPPORT.txt.

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

|
NTLM authentication remains the only missing major feature in the new
|
|
codeline that prevents us from moving awards the API freeze.

projects are encouraged to upgrade to the latest release.

Release 4.0 Alpha 3
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
ALPHA3 release brings another round of API refinements and improvements in
|
|
functionality. 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.

--------------------------------------

|
|
Release 4.0 Alpha 1
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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.
