Some feedback, finally.
I attempted to compile the "client" tools of the slide project with the HttpClient 3.0 alpha release.
You'll probably not be surprised to hear that it didn't compile. It turns out that a few missing functions in the HttpException class cause the compile failures. I added those few functions in to my local copy, and everything compiled.
The code that I have that runs on top of those libraries also compiled without any further changes.
I didn't actually run any of the code, though. I suspect that the changes in exception handling would make any such endeavors more work than I want to tackle right now.
I think my next step is to ask that the client libraries of the Slide project start using different version numbers from the server side tools, and then suggest a 3.0 release of the slide client libraries that will use the 3.0 HttpClient. Since getting it to compile was easy, I suspect that the rest of it will be fairly straightforward too.

As far as I know the following projects rely on HttpClient 2.0 as a required or optional dependency
* Apache Jakarta Slide (http://jakarta.apache.org/slide/) * Apache Jakarta Cactus (http://jakarta.apache.org/cactus/) * Apache Axis (http://ws.apache.org/axis/) * Apache XML-RPC (http://ws.apache.org/xmlrpc/) * Spring Framework (http://www.springframework.org/) * HtmlUntit (http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net/) * XINS (http://xins.sourceforge.net/)
I just wonder if any of the projects' committers are currently subscribed to or monitor this mail list?
We would love to know if there are any plans to evaluate HttpClient 3.0, or any migration plans already. What can we do to make the transition, if planned, easier?
