Contributing

   HttpComponents is a community-led project and we are delighted to receive contributions of anything from minor fixes to new features.
   If you have an itch to scratch, then by all means do that! Fixing bugs you run into, or adding features you need, are both immensely helpful.
   There are plenty of ways to help outside writing code. Code review of pull requests (even if you are not a committer), feature suggestions, reporting bugs, documentation and usability feedback all matter immensely.

Testing

   All Pull Requests are automatically tested on {{{https://travis-ci.com/apache/httpcomponents-core}Travis CI (Core)}}, {{{https://travis-ci.com/apache/httpcomponents-client}Travis CI (Client)}} on both AMD64 and ARM64 architectures.

More information

   As it happens, the ways to get involved into an open source project are basically the same for all projects.
   Please have a look at the {{{http://incubator.apache.org/guides/participation.html}Incubator Guide To Participation}}.
   It's terse, but has pointers to additional information elsewhere at Apache.
   The sections on participating as a User and as a Developer apply here, too.
