Hello Claus! I added the missed wiki page and updated camel-http4 to use the Apache HttpClient 4.1. I realized that camel-http made some progression but camel-http4 not (camel-http4 was forked in Camel 2.2). :-( Do you remember what the reason was to provide a new component instead of "only" updating the existing one - maybe with API breaks? Do you remember whether HttpClient 4.0 doesn't support a feature HttpClient 3.x supports? If it's only the configuration of the httpClient options, I will check which options are affected. Also, users which uses the HttpClientConfigurer are also affected, because HttpClient is an interface in HttpClient 4.x. But maybe there are only a few changes we could add on the release notes (with a "migration plan") and only maintain the camel-http component (which use HttpClient 4.1) from Camel 2.7 onwards. It's really difficult to have two components in sync over a long time... If this is not an option for you, I will spend some time on camel-http4 in Camel 2.7 so that both components are as similar as possible.
