Description

The current driver has a mix of HttpClient2 and java.net APIs. The HttpClient2 APIs do not support auto timing. The java.net APIs support auto timing but do not do file uploads. Both architectures do not share the same connection or cookies. It did work to a certain point but the uploads would not have passed the authentication done via the Java APIs.

Now we have the HttpClient3 and full support for auto timing in HttpClient3. Moreover, we have an implementation of HttpTransport to work directly with HttpClient3 which makes the actual amount of work for this change very small. Olio 0.2 presents an opportunity to get this all rectified.
