[jira] Created: (HTTPCLIENT-916) RFE: Make Credentials Serializable

RFE: Make Credentials Serializable
----------------------------------

                 Key: HTTPCLIENT-916
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-916
             Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: HttpClient
    Affects Versions: 4.0.1
            Reporter: Daniel Gredler
            Priority: Minor


I've been working on upgrading the HtmlUnit library to use HttpClient 4, and I've realized that we could eliminate some hackish internal code if Credentials instances were Serializable. I don't really see a downside, and this would be a huge convenience for us.

The change would involve making the org.apache.http.auth.Credentials interface extend Serializable, and having org.apache.http.auth.BasicUserPrincipal and org.apache.http.auth.NTUserPrincipal implement Serializable (plus serialVersionUIDs where appropriate, I guess).

[jira] Updated: (HTTPCLIENT-916) RFE: Make Credentials Serializable

Posted by "Oleg Kalnichevski (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.
     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-916?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Oleg Kalnichevski updated HTTPCLIENT-916:
-----------------------------------------

    Attachment: HTTPCLIENT-916-tests.patch

As far as I know a class does not have to comply with the Java Bean spec in order to be Serializable. Both HttpHost and HttpVersion are valid Serializable while they do not have a no arg constructor and have final fields.

I always wanted to keep persistence aspects out of HttpClient but,  if there is popular demand for it, I can live with making BasicUserPrincipal, NTUserPrincipal, as well as BasicClientCookie, BasicClientCookie2, and BasicCookieStore Serializable.

[jira] Commented: (HTTPCLIENT-916) RFE: Make Credentials Serializable

Johannes Koch commented on HTTPCLIENT-916:
------------------------------------------

AFAIK, classes implementing Serializable must have a non-argument constructor and non-final member variables. This would have to be changed. However, I support this request. Or add a way to create serializable versions of Credentials (and Headers?).

----------------------------------------------

I very much regret making HttpHost and HttpVersion serializable. In my opinion persistence aspects should be kept out of HttpCore. Why do you want those classes serializable?

Do you mind making BasicHeader and BufferedHeader also implement Serializable?
