The HttpComponents project is pleased to announce the
release of
HttpComponents HttpClient 4.0-alpha3. This version brings
another round
of API refinements and improvements in functionality. As of
this release
HttpClient requires Java 5 compatible runtime environment
and takes full
advantage of generics and new concurrency primitives.
This release also introduces new default cookie policy that
selects a
cookie specification depending on the format of cookies sent
by the
target host. It is no longer necessary to know beforehand
what kind of
HTTP cookie support the target host provides. HttpClient is
now able to
pick up either a lenient or a strict cookie policy depending
on the
compliance level of the target host.
Another notable improvement is a completely reworked support
for
multipart entities based on Apache mime4j library.
