I see. Google does now direct searchers to hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga so perhaps it has now caught up (or maybe the redirect has done its job). > Feel free to remove those redirects or point them at a different > location. I think the best is to drop the redirects, but first ensure that the HC 3.1 page(s) are updated to direct users to the new code. That should be done anyway. I'll work towards that. > Cheers > > Oleg > > [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1029 > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] > For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected] > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
