I just discovered Http Client about a week ago. It's just what I need for a project that I'm working on. I have a few questions, though:
1. In message http://www.mail-archive.com/commons-dev@jakarta.apache.org/msg03518.html Rodney intimates that that Http Client is close to being a 2.0 release. How close is it to being officially released? 2. Does Http Client support SOCKS proxies? Which of the system properties (e.g., socks.proxyHost, socks.proxyPort) do I need to set for both SOCKS and non-SOCKS proxies? 3. Part of my application needs to download binary files. I currently do it in a loop "read"ing bytes from a BufferedInputStream chained to a URLConnection's InputStream. I tried a similar approach with HttpConnection's ResponseInputStream but the BufferedInputStream returns eof (-1) on the first read. PostMethod.getResponseBody seems to work fine but was slower than my current implementation. Can anyone give me a good approach for binary file download?
