I agree on the priority. We've already tried to move the multipart code to commons-codec, where nobody had an interest. Maybe things will be different this time. However, if we extend our activities to WebDAV at some point in time, we'll probably find it convenient to have the required multipart support under our control. For the moment, my only concern is whether we'll have the functionality of 3.1 covered in 4.0, so we can drop the (official) support for 3.1 eventually. cheers, Roland --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
