Thanks Scott! (And the entire ECF Team). I've been using
httpcomponents myself (for some other work), and IMHO it's the one we
want to be using (since, as you said, it's the technology that's
currently under active development).
Scott, what's involved from a p2 standpoint. Obviously the release
engineering work to consume this provider and thorough regression
testing. Is there development that will also need to be done, or does
ECF take care of all the abstraction there? IIRC, none of the
providers leak into p2, so from a p2 code standpoint, there really
should be no difference. Is that correct?
Yes, that's correct. I don't anticipate any further significant
development for p2. The only caveat to that may be around NTLM2
support...I'm not yet sure how httpclient4 has/does that.
WRT p2 involvement...IMHO the most important thing is around regression
testing...particularly around proxies of different types.
