| Release 2.0 Beta 1 |
| ------------------- |
| Changes since Release 2.0 Alpha 3: |
| |
| * Changed HttpConnection to use socket timeout instead of busy |
| waiting while expecting input. |
| |
| * Added a getResponseContentLength() method to HttpMethod. |
| |
| * Changed HttpClient to accept correctly encoded URLs instead of |
| attempting to encode them within HttpClient. |
| |
| * 'Expect: 100-continue' logic factored out into an abstract |
| ExpectContinueMethod class |
| |
| * 'Expect: 100-Continue' handshake disabled per default, as it may not work |
| properly with older HTTP/1.0 servers or proxies. |
| |
| * Reengineered authentication code. This includes a fix for |
| HttpClient continually attempting to authenticate to digest realms and |
| provides for better future extensibility. |
| |
| * Authenticator class deprecated |
| |
| * Improved user documentation and example code. |
| |
| * Added ability to differentiate between different hosts using the |
| same realm names. |
| |
| * Added support for specifying a virtual host name to use. |
| |
| * Fixed problem with half-closed connections causing a |
| HttpRecoverableException to be thrown when HttpClient attempts to read |
| from a socket. |
| |
| * Improved reliability with the HEAD method and servers that |
| incorrectly include a response body. |
| |
| * Improved support for connection keep-alive when communicating via a proxy |
| |
| * Added an override of HttpClient.executeMethod that lets the |
| caller specify an HttpState object. |
| |
| * HttpConnectionManager is now a property of the HttpClient class, |
| not of the HttpState class |
| |
| * Added ability to specify the local address that HttpClient should |
| create connections from. |
| |
| |
| Release 2.0 Alpha 3 |
| ------------------- |
| Changes since Release 2.0 Alpha 2: |
| |
| * Abstract EntityEnclosingMethod class has been introduced to encapsulate |
| common behaviour of all entity enclosing methods |
| |
| * "Expect: 100-continue" handshake support added for POST, PUT & multipart POST |
| |
| * Added support for chunked requests for POST and PUT. |
| |
| * Added support for 303 See Other redirections. |
| |
| * Changed input and output streams to use buffering to improve performance. |
| |
| * Improved handling of multivalue headers. Order is now preserved and |
| convenience methods have been added to access each value. |
| |
| * In non-strict mode each cookie sent with the request is put on a separate |
| request header. In strict mode all cookies are crammed into one request header, |
| as before. |
| |
| * ResponseInputStream class deprecated. |
| |
| * RequestOutputStream class deprecated. |
| |
| * Custom character set can be specified for all multipart classes. |
| |
| * Custom content type can be specified for FilePart derived multipart classes. |
| |
| * The useDisk methods in GetMethod class deprecated. |
| |
| |
| Release 2.0 Alpha 2 |
