[HttpClient] taking the first stab at HttpClient 4.0
Folks,
With HttpCore ALPHA3 finally out the door, I think it is time we put
HttpCore on the back burner for a while and took a first stab at
HttpClient 4.0.
Here is my Evil (tm) Plan.
There are many things I never liked about HttpClient 3.x API. High on my
list are HttpConfiguration, HttpState, HttpConnection, HttpCookie. While
I am convinced there are better / cleaner ways to go about HTTP state
management, host configuration and connection management, these classes
are not broken beyond redemption the same way HttpMethod and
HttpMethodBase are.
In my opinion HttpCore fixed those things that were broken really badly
about HttpClient 3.x. So, as a first step I suggest that we simply try
to port HttpClient 3.x code to HttpCore without any drastic changes in
client side protocol code and see how that comes about. Once we have
something working and delivering equivalent functionality to that of
HttpClient 3.x, we could take a step back, take a hard look at those
things that are still sub-optimal and decide which of those need to be
redesigned.
How does that sound?
Evil Comrade Oleg

This makes sense. If you have some spare cycles left, have a stab at it.
I should be able to do some work in the first quarter and was tentatively
planning to work on the HttpConn stuff then, as it is a prerequisite to
HttpAsync.
cheers,
Roland

Hi Oleg,
Sounds like a good refactoring plan: Rip out old code and replace with
HttpCore calls. Then see what remains left. Yup, I like it. It will
probably be a pain to migrate all the test code, but a necessary one.
Cheers

Agreed. Sounds like the right approach.
