James Abley commented on HTTPCLIENT-834:
----------------------------------------
W00t! By all means list me as a contributor. I wasn't expecting it to be
accepted yet; I thought it was still a little rough. I hadn't found a coding
style guide, so I was expecting some feedback there, apache license header,
maybe a contributors agreement to submit? Not that I'm complaining. Thank you.
If the demand is there to allow it to be configured / removed, then we can add
that.
I would like to look at content caching. I would think that's a bit more
involved and I'm not sure that I can commit the time that I think it would
require at the moment, but it's definitely something that I'd like to see in
the library. Or I might see what else is in JIRA that looks fun, that would
take the amount of time that I can commit to at the moment.
I'll also have to give it some thought as to how that might be implemented.
I've got a little too much baggage in terms of how I've implemented something
like that using httpclient-3.x and ehcache, so I need to step back and think
about it using the 4.x API and (pluggable) cache implementations.

> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: HttpClient
> Affects Versions: 4.0 Beta 3
> Environment: Any

> I would like to see HttpClient features brought up to parity with other
> libraries, both in Java and other languages. c.f. Python's httplib2 (not yet
> in the standard library, but many would like to see it in there). That
> library transparently handles gzip and compress content codings.
> This issue is to capture possible solutions to providing this sort of innate
> functionality in HttpClient, so that users aren't required to know RFC2616
> intimately. The HttpClient library should do the right thing and use the
> network in the most efficient manner possible.
