Re: [ANNOUNCE] Release of Commons HttpClient 2.0 Release Candidate 2

[Michael Becke]

Do you think that it would be warranted for HttpClient?  Is this 
something that Maven supports, or is there any kind of Apache standard? 
 I must admit this is not something I have really considered before and 
am a little clueless.

Guys, can I suggest creating a Win32 installer to go along with the
release?
Makes the product look professional to the end user, and can include 
links
to docs, bug reports etc.

Willing to help,

The Jakarta Commons HttpClient development team is pleased to announce
the release of HttpClient 2.0 RC2.  This release consists primarily of
bug fixes and will hopefully be the last RC release. Please visit the
HttpClient website <http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/> and
download this latest release.
The following changes have been made since Release Candidate 1:

  * 23708 - Added try/catch blocks around calls to 
System.getProperty().

  * 23431 - Added support for disabling transfer-encoding and
content-type headers in
    multi-part posts.
  * 23663 - Changed HttpMethodBase to release its HttpConnection when 
a
recoverable
    exception occurs.

  * Javadoc enhancements.

  * 23284 - Fixed bug with URI.isIPv4address().

  * 22969 - PostMethod#setParameter fixed to correctly overwrite
existing parameters.
  * 22970 - Fixed bug with PostMethod#removeParameter return value.

  * Improved compliance to RFC 2617

  * 22926 - Added support for digest auth MD5-sess.

  * 22655 - Added support for stale digest nonce values.

  * 22968 - HttpConnection.isResponseAvailable() made a little more
robust, particularly when
    used by HeadMethod.
  * 22941 - Switched the order in which socket streams are closed:
output stream closed first,
    followed by input stream.
  * Added debugging for connection reclaiming.

  * Removed JCE initialization code specific to the Sun's
implementation.
  * Fixed problem of Basic, Digest & NTLM authentication schemes under
certain circumstances
    leaking passwords in clear text to the DEBUG log.
  * Fixed the problem with incorrect selection of the proxy
authentication realm.
  * Changed URI.normalize() to ignore relative path normalization.

Thank you,
