HttpClient 3.1 has been released. This release finalizes support for the RFC 2965 cookie management (also known as Cookie2 or port sensitive cookies) and adds a number of improvements to the HTTP connection management. HttpClient 3.1 is likely to be the last non-bug fixing release of the HttpClient 3.x codeline.

HttpComponents HttpClient 4.0-alpha1 has been released. HttpClient 4.0 represents a complete, ground-up redesign and almost a complete rewrite of the HttpClient 3.x codeline. This release finally addresses several design flaws that existed since the 1.0 release and could not be fixed without a major code overhaul and breaking API compatibility.

The HttpClient 4.0 API is still very experimental and is bound to change in the course of the ALPHA development phase. Several important features have not yet been ported to the new API.

Architectural changes

• Redesign of the HttpClient internals addressing all known major architectural shortcomings of the 3.x codeline
• Cleaner, more flexible and expressive API
• Better performance and smaller memory footprint due to a more efficient HTTP transport based on HttpCore. HttpClient 4.0 is expected to be 10% to 25% faster than HttpClient 3.x codeline
• More modular structure
• Pluggable redirect and authentication handlers
• Support for protocol interceptors
• Improved connection management
• Improved support for sending requests via a proxy or a chain of proxies
• Improved handling redirects of entity enclosing requests
• More flexible SSL context customization
• Reduced intermediate garbage in the process of generating HTTP requests and parsing HTTP responses
