Announcement of contribution of HttpService to the Apache Felix project

[Rob Walker <ro...@ascert.com>]

Firstly, an apology to Enrique that this email did not go out yesterday 
as planned.

I am very pleased to announce that the OSGi HttpService, for which I 
have been one of the developers, will be contributed to the Apache Felix 
project. Richard Hall started the original HttpService in the very early 
days of the Oscar project, and even in it's earliest form it provided a 
useful bundle which came close to OSGi conformance in a number of areas. 
I became involved somewhat later as a result of my firm's needs for 
enhancements to provide fuller OSGi compliance in specific areas. At 
present, the HttpService conforms pretty closely to the specification in 
most, if not all, important areas, and has the benefit of being based on 
a first class underlying HTTP server implementation in Jetty.

I shall look forward to working with the Apache project to promote 
further development of the HttpService and the OSGi Felix implementation.

Regards

-- Rob Walker

Yes, I think this is an excellent move. Thanks to Rob, HTTP Service is 
really usable, so it will be great to have it be part of Felix. 
Certainly, I am willing to contribute my portion of it! :-)

p.s. I am traveling in Taiwan (for my wedding reception), so my 
connectivity is sporadic, but I am hoping to spend time regularly in 
cafes with free wifi over the next couple weeks. :-)

And I even had a cheesy tie-in statement prepared comparing your 
contribution, the Apache Way, and United Nations Day (Oct 24).  Curses!

This will be a great contribution.  I would like to use the HttpService 
to embed in servers to provide simple web-based management.

Last I heard Richard was traveling, but we'll get on a vote ASAP.

I'm looking forward to working more with you, Rob, with the HttpService 
and bundle building (mangen).
