I'm resurrecting this thread because, as outlined by this other thread
http://markmail.org/message/j4s6tq2ccit3wtbf, unlike Apache
HttpClient, OFBiz's is not closing connections.
I have not the time at the moment to replace it, but I'd like to do so in
October or November. I will open a Jira then (this message
more as a self reminder...)

I have done more investigation, and found the methods I depend on in the
jar come from java 1.31. in looking at the current httpclient, it does
not support the code I have.
I am not sure what I will do at this point but for the trunk it would be
best to use the current httpclient.
I am still going thru the current httpclient class in ofbiz to figure
out how is would be used, mostly in communication with third parties.

I was thinking we could deprecate the constructors, and point people to
the new class.

just as a note there are methods in the ofbiz one that work with ofbiz
structure. I would like to review those to see if they can be used
I guess the proper steps is to depreciate those.

works for me.
it has been moved around
found it under
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpcomponents/httpclient/trunk/module-client/

I'd rather switch to the commons one and eliminate the OFBiz one. It's
only used in one or two places, so it wouldn't be a difficult change to
make.

I have been looking at HTMLUnit since our last conversation, for
implementing user test screens.
this is more that there are two HttpClient classes and the ofbiz
one is
used in the framework.
it seemed the simplest solution would be to use implements to
append the
apache one to the ofbiz one thus making the ofbiz one more versatile.

I would recommend using any suitable replacement for the OFBiz
HttpClient - it is very rudimentary.
If you need an HTTP client that handles cookies and JavaScript, then
take a look at HTMLUnit - http://htmlunit.sourceforge.net. I used
it in
my mashup POC code -
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-1873.

while working with yahoo API
I came accross the org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient;
which has more functionality than the ofbiz HttpClient
is there any problem with making the ofbiz an HttpClient
implementation
of the apache?
