Hi folks, I've started to collect my thoughts on connection management in the Wiki: http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-httpclient/ConnectionManagementDesign The Wiki has the advantage that I can access it even on business trips :-)
The NIO question is wide open, but not urgent. Another question concerns NTLM authentication. Mike, maybe you can answer that? IIRC, NTLM authentication is connection based. After the initial challenge-response handshake, the connection must be kept open since only requests on that connection will be authenticated. My question is: will _all_ requests over that connection share the authentication, or do they still require some Authentication: or Proxy-Authentication: header? In other words, if the connection is given back to the connection manager and subsequently re-used, will those requests accidentally "inherit" the NTLM authentication? cheers, Roland --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
