We'd probably have a 2.0 final release already if I wasn't so lazy^h^h^h^h busy. (It'd be nice to migrate to commons-logging as well, but that'll be easy because commons-logging is derived from the logging currently in httpclient.) > Are there any plans to implement > timeouts in the socket connects? We're limited by the JDK here. JDK 1.4 has richer support for socket handling than the currently supported JDK releases. I'd bet Otis would be happy to share his JDK 1.4-based extension for timeout handling.
