| Release 4.0 Alpha 1 |
| ------------------- |
| |
| HttpAsyncClient is a library for asynchronous client-side HTTP communication built on HttpCore NIO |
| and HttpClient components. |
| |
| HttpAsyncClient is NOT meant to replace or supersede Apache HttpClient. It is a complementary |
| library to Apache HttpClient intended for special cases where ability to handle a great number of |
| concurrent connections is more important than performance in terms of a raw data throughput or |
| for those users who prefer event-driven APIs. |
| |
| The HttpAsyncClient 4.0 API is still very experimental and is expected to change in the course |
| of the ALPHA development phase. |
| |
| Please note that currently HttpAsyncClient DOES NOT support |
| |
| * HTTP state management (cookies) |
| * HTTP authentication |
| * Stateful HTTP connections |
