Michael Osipov commented on HTTPCORE-615:
-----------------------------------------
I have several problems here:
* The issue description tells nothing about new serializer
* The bonus it tries to solve.
I must admit that I do not understand the purpose of this cache and I know
nothing about memcached. All I see for now is a huge amount of source code for
a likely special problem. Please explain to me. This is similar to the CredSSP
donation we had months ago. Loaded off to us and Microsoft continued to evolve
it. Hence, we had the burden to keep up.
> Implement new cache serializer that is not based on Java Object Serialization

> Key: HTTPCORE-615
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCORE-615
> Project: HttpComponents HttpCore
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Scott W Gifford
> Priority: Major
>
> 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.
