Quick Question
Phew, good stuff, I am not doing anything particularly complicated, just a few method calls. Another thing, it is possible to, for example, get all the of the form actions from a html page, I have managed to get what I need using reg exps but just wondering if it is in the HttpClient package???
Many thanks
Rudy

No, I (along mit all other committers) really do recommend 3.0 for use
as stated in our release announcement. I am just saying that API is not
frozen yet. So be prepared for changes. Whether you are writing a book
or are wiriting software does not matter. Both will be likely to change
if we decide to change something in the API. You must decide for your
project what is feasible and what is not. The advantages of using 3.0
may well outweigh this disadvantage.

No, Rudy, unfortunately we provide no support for that. HttpClient
focuses on the transport with HTTP. HTML is out of our scope. You may
want to use a read-to-use HTML parser library for that. If your page is
XHTML you can just use JAXP with the XML parser of your choice of course.

It is not, and never will be. That's HTML parsing, not HTTP handling.
cheers,
