Mario Ivankovits commented on VFS-85:
-------------------------------------

Yea, the main intention was to have a "fail fast" behavior.

Today I tend to change this, though, we have to think about first as I dont want to change it again later ....

>          Issue Type: Improvement
>            Reporter: Philippe Poulard
>            Priority: Blocker

> when I try to create a file object with "http://www.somehost.com/", VFS fails when the host is unreachable (e.g. when not connected to internet)
> this is because org.apache.commons.vfs.provider.http.HttpFileSystem has a constructor that has an argument HttpClient, whereas it should be an HttpClientFactory
> the HttpClient should be resolved only when required :
>     protected HttpClient getClient()
>     {
>         if ( this.client == null ) {
>             this.client = clientFactory.createConnection(...);
>         }
>         return client;
>     }
> I didn't check it, but this issue is certainly present with FTP and others...
