["Oleg Kalnichevski (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-828?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12676297#action_12676297 ] 

Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPCLIENT-828:
----------------------------------------------

Generics cannot be used in HttpClient 3.x code due to Java 1.2.2 compatibility requirement. You are welcome to contribute a patch for HttpClient 4.0, though

One needs to become a committer in order to get permissions to commit code to the ASF repository.

> There currently is a void addParameter(String paramName, String paramValue)  method in org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.PostMethod. I was thinking why not to make it to handle generic type for paramValue? It is a simple change, but will give a lot of facility, since primitive types can also be handled via autoboxing. Implementation-wise it should also not be a problem, because we can call toString method of an object, and generic types in Java by default work with object.
