John,
I found the following configuration didn't work with 2.2.0:
<servers>
<server>
<id>localhost</id>
<configuration>
<httpConfiguration>
<get>
<useDefaultHeaders>false</useDefaultHeaders>
<headers>
<header>
<name>User-Agent</name>
<value>Foo-Bar/1.1</value>
</header>
</headers>
</get>
</httpConfiguration>
(I also tried without the default headers line, and with "all" instead
of "get").
<httpHeaders/> continues to work.
What am I doing wrong?
+ It's important to understand that the above method didn't allow
you to turn off the default HTTP headers; nor
+ did it allow you to specify headers on a per-method basis.
That's not quite true, since the only default headers were the caching
ones, which could be disabled by setting useCache to false. Would it
be better to phrase this as "under 2.1.0 and earlier"?
+ If all you need is a per-server timeout configuration, you still
have the option to use the old <<<\<timeout\>>>>
+ parameter. If you need to separate timeout preferences according
to HTTP method, you can use one more like that
+ specified directly above.
Do you think instead of deprecating the old httpHeaders/useCache that
it could be the same recommendation? Basically - you can keep using
the direct config, but if you need fine-grained the above is
available. This also helps avoid issues where the lightweight vs
httpclient configs have now diverged.
