Re: [ANNOUNCE] Release of Commons HttpClient 2.0 Release Candidate 2

These are some definite benefits.  I think that Mark's concerns are 
also valid.  The presence of an exe installer might indicate to users 
that HttpClient is an application instead of a library.  If we do 
decide to implement the installer I think we will have to address this 
question in documentation, etc.

unzip

1) Display and acceptance of license
2) Start/Programs/ Menu option with links to installed docs, samples,

3) Easy uninstall for the user.

maven doesn't support it yet, but we are working on it. There's no Apache
Standard AFAIK, but Tomcat does ship a win32.exe, as does httpd and Maven
:-)

Have a look @ maven's installer if you're on windows.

Do you think that it would be warranted for HttpClient?  Is this 
something that Maven supports, or is there any kind of Apache standard? 
 I must admit this is not something I have really considered before and 
am a little clueless.

The Jakarta Commons HttpClient development team is pleased to announce
the release of HttpClient 2.0 RC2.  This release consists primarily of
bug fixes and will hopefully be the last RC release. Please visit the
HttpClient website  and
download this latest release.
The following changes have been made since Release Candidate 1:

  * 23708 - Added try/catch blocks around calls to 
System.getProperty().

  * 23431 - Added support for disabling transfer-encoding and
content-type headers in
multi-part posts.
  * 23663 - Changed HttpMethodBase to release its HttpConnection when 
a
recoverable
exception occurs.

  * Javadoc enhancements.

  * 23284 - Fixed bug with URI.isIPv4address().

  * 22969 - PostMethod#setParameter fixed to correctly overwrite
existing parameters.
  * 22970 - Fixed bug with PostMethod#removeParameter return value.

  * Improved compliance to RFC 2617

  * 22926 - Added support for digest auth MD5-sess.

  * 22655 - Added support for stale digest nonce values.

  * 22968 - HttpConnection.isResponseAvailable() made a little more
robust, particularly when
used by HeadMethod.
  * 22941 - Switched the order in which socket streams are closed:
output stream closed first,
followed by input stream.
  * Added debugging for connection reclaiming.

  * Removed JCE initialization code specific to the Sun's
implementation.
  * Fixed problem of Basic, Digest & NTLM authentication schemes under
certain circumstances
leaking passwords in clear text to the DEBUG log.
  * Fixed the problem with incorrect selection of the proxy
authentication realm.
  * Changed URI.normalize() to ignore relative path normalization.

Thank you,
