We would like to review the api on this mailing list.
So, all comments are welcome.
Can you separate the domain objects (in particular HttpClient, HttpRequest)
and their set-up (all the mutators) into separate concerns (Builders perhaps,
see Guava for instance)?
+1, I agree with your comment.
Wherever possible we should try to use a builder pattern to build
immutable objects ( or limit its mutability as much as possible ). I
think Mike made a very similar comment too. Maybe the spi and
factory/builder could be separated out, I think this would be much cleaner.
As you say, you get thread-safety by default, which would appear to be a
nice property for this API, given its different programming models.
-Chris.
It'd be nice to have this all thread-safe by default, it seems creating an API
that isn't thread-safe is maybe not ideal.
