[jira] [Commented] (JCR-2406) Upgrade httpclient dependency to 4.0

["Julian Reschke (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-2406?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15554470#comment-15554470 ] 

Julian Reschke commented on JCR-2406:
-------------------------------------

OK, here's a concrete proposal (cc [~anchela] and [~tripod]):

1) Identify all classes that extend hc3 APIs and refactor them so that most of the code is moved into hc-agnostic utility classes (this reduces the size of the code we need to worry about)

2) Add hc4-based counterparts of everything we need to get rid of long-term.

3) Deprecate the hc3-based classes

4) Switch our own code to use the new hc4-based classes

5) Remove the hc3-based classes

Timing:

- it would be good to get 3) done before we release 2.14

- we should try to do 5) before we release 2.16

Feedback appreciated.

> Httpclient is one of these libs that tends to be pulled by another third party lib and often with conflicted versions (in a traditional environment contrary to OSGi).
> Upgrading from 3.0 to 4.0 allows applications to use both Jackrabbit and the latest release of HttpClient.
> As discussed in JCR-2389, this is a sensitive task as it can introduce regression.
