Description

A very simple wrapper is attached here. This one offcourse requires the httpclient-3.1.jar in addition to httpclient-4 and httpcore.

There's an issue passing parameters from httpclient-4 HttpMethod.getProperties() (HttpParams from 4) to httpclient-3.1 and MultipartRequestEntity's constructor which takes HttpMethodParams (from 3.1). I was thinking about doing an iteration of the parameters, but as far as I could understand HttpMethodParams (from 3.1) is a static configuration, thus it's alot of typing work and research to map httpclient-4s dynamic properties to httpclient-3.1 configuration class. Furthermore I didn't find any way of iterating the the parameters (at a glance). So, I gave that one up.

In conclusion, MultipartRequestEntity is stuck with the default parameters.

It did it's job for me. That was pretty basic stuff, though.
