Scott W Gifford updated HTTPCORE-615:
-------------------------------------
Description:
HTTPCORE-578 was caused by the brittleness of using Java Object Serialization
to store cache objects. Java Object Serialization requires careful
understanding of what sorts of changes require a new serialization version,
with small mistakes leading to surprising results; further Java Object
Serialization has security issues, and will be an optional feature in upcoming
Java releases (with Jigsaw). It would be better to have a more stable
serialization approach.
Since the Apache client already knows how to communicate with HTTP, one simple
approach would be to serialize as if we were writing to an HTTP client, and
deserialize as if we were reading from an HTTP server.
I have developed a serializer that does that, and would like to contribute it
back to the Apache project.
