Hi Oleg, that sounds very promising. I would love to see a version of HC running smoothly out of the box on Android - no modifications involved. In the meantime, which would be the smartest way to expose HC 4.3.5.1 to my users? I am trying to write an SDK which exposes an HTTP layer. I would like to base that layer on Apache HC, so I am thinking to expose the following two interfaces: - HTTPClient - HTTPContext
These are currently the only interfaces I need to expose to still allow users of my SDK to tailor the HTTP connectivity to their special needs. Will these interfaces be stable / available by the same package name in HC 5? If so, I could keep my API compatible when switching to HC 5 once it is available.

It is just not worth it. Our focus will be on making sure that HC >5.0 can run without modifications on newer versions of Android. > >Oleg > > > >--------------------------------------------------------------------- >To unsubscribe, e-mail: httpclient-users-unsubscr...@hc.apache.org >For additional commands, e-mail: httpclient-users-h...@hc.apache.org > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: httpclient-users-unsubscr...@hc.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: httpclient-users-h...@hc.apache.org
