Hi. As far as we go, we currently need an ability to set request properties for connection over http. These properties are set for HttpURLConnection with following style:
connection.setRequestProperty( "Authorization", "..."); connection.setRequestProperty( "User-Agent", "..."); I don't really think this requires lot of changes to VFS. By the way, I can't seem to access any builds in http://people.apache.org/builds/jakarta-commons/nightly/commons-vfs/. -hrjk > Hi hrjk, > > please prefix your post with [vfs], else chances are good my mailfilter > wouldnt get them - and its common to do so on such umbrella lists. >> If you have any >> assumptions about release time of following features, please share them. >> > As always with open source, we (I) cant promise anything. > >> 1.
