[ANNOUNCE] Release of Commons HttpClient 2.0 Beta 2

[Michael Becke <be...@u.washington.edu>]

The Jakarta Commons HttpClient team is proud to announce the release of 
HttpClient 2.0 beta 2.  Most likely this will be the last beta before 
the final 2.0 release.  Please visit the HttpClient website 
<http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/> and download this 
latest release.

The following changes have been made since Release 2.0 Beta 1:

  * 20240 - Cookies with null path are no longer rejected in the
    browser compatibility mode.

  * 20481 - Query parameters set via 
HttpMethodBase.setQueryString(NameValuePair[])
    now correctly use 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' encoding.

  * 20481 - POST method correctly applies 
'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
    encoding.

  * 20569 - Duplicate connection headers are now handled.

  * 20646 - Fixed NTLM proxy authentication via SSL.

  * 20665 - Changed URI to correctly handle path resolution according to
    http://www.apache.org/~fielding/uri/rev-2002/issues.html.  In
    particular dot-segments are removed when not necessary.

  * 20938 - Connections are now closed when the request is missing a 
content
    length and is not chunked.

  * 20942 - Requests with DIGEST authentication are now correctly handled
    when redirected.

  * 21130 - DEFAULT_MAX_HOST_CONNECTIONS and 
DEFAULT_MAX_TOTAL_CONNECTIONS are
    now public in MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager.

  * 21201 - URIs are now correctly rebuilt following a call to 
URI.normalize().

  * 21202 - WireLogInputStream.read(byte[]) now logs the correct number 
of bytes.

  * Fixed path parsing in RFC2109 cookie spec.

  * Fixed possible NPE when reading an empty response body.

  * The various to*Charset() methods of URIUtil have been deprecated.

Thank you,

Commons HttpClient Development Team
