Good ${time of the day}
Commons HttpClient is looking for some feedback on it's new 3.0 API. As a current user of HttpClient 2.0 we would like to hear what you have to say. If you are interested please have a look at the new 3.0 API <http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/3.0/index.html> and post any questions/suggestions/criticisms to <commons-httpclient-dev@jakarta.apache.org>
Noteworthy enhancements include:
- New preference architecture

- Improved exception handling framework
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/3.0/exception-handling.html
- Plug-in mechanism for authentication modules
- Improved authentication framework

- Cookie specification plug-in mechanism http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/3.0/cookies.html
- Cross-site redirect support
