Ken Krugler commented on NUTCH-751:
-----------------------------------
I'm using HttpClient 4.0 in Bixo, and I agree that Nutch should upgrade.
But the API has been changed significantly, as I'm sure Julien has seen. Lots
of improvements, but this will be a non-trivial patch.
There was a recent (Sept 2nd) post on the HttpClient list by Gerald Turner, and
a response by Oleg, that contained a lot of useful info about migrating from
3.1 to 4.0

> The existing version of commons http-client (3.01) should be replaced with
> the latest version from http://hc.apache.org/.
> Currently the only way of using the https protocol is to enable http-client.
> The version 3.01 is bugged and causes a lot of issues which have been
> reported before. Apparently the new version has been redesigned and should
> fix them. The old v3.01 is too unstable to be used on a large scale.
>
> I will try to send a patch in the next couple of weeks but would love to hear
> your thoughts on this.
