The Jakarta HttpComponents project is pleased to announce the release of HttpComponents HttpCore 4.0-alpha5. This version delivers a number of incremental improvements across the board in all modules and adds several performance oriented features such as ability to transfer data directly between a file and a socket NIO channels.
This is likely to be the last ALPHA release of the HttpCore 4.0 branch. HttpCore is is expected to enter the BETA development phase with the next release.

They are nonetheless sufficient to develop basic client side and server side HTTP services with a minimal footprint and no external dependencies. HttpCore NIO extensions can be used to build asynchronous HTTP services based on non-blocking I/O model capable of handling a great number of simultaneous connections with just a few I/O threads. HttpCore will form the foundation of the future releases of Apache HttpClient. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
