HttpClient 4.1-beta1 finalizes the 4.1 API and brings a number of major improvements to the HTTP caching module. This release also adds full support for NTLMv1, NTLMv2, and NTLM2 Session authentication. The NTLM protocol code was kindly contributed by the Lucene Connector Framework project.
If no major issues are found in the 4.1 branch the final release can be expected in early Q1 2011. ------------------- Download - <http://hc.apache.org/downloads.cgi> Release notes - <http://www.apache.org/dist/httpcomponents/httpclient/RELEASE_NOTES.txt> HttpComponents site - <http://hc.apache.org/> About Apache HttpClient Although the java.net package provides basic functionality for accessing resources via HTTP, it doesn't provide the full flexibility or functionality needed by many applications. HttpClient seeks to fill this void by providing an efficient, up-to-date, and feature-rich package implementing the client side of the most recent HTTP standards and recommendations. Designed for extension while providing robust support for the base HTTP protocol, HttpClient may be of interest to anyone building HTTP-aware client applications such as web browsers, web service clients, or systems that leverage or extend the HTTP protocol for distributed communication. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: httpclient-users-unsubscr...@hc.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: httpclient-users-h...@hc.apache.org
