[ANNOUNCEMENT] HttpComponents Client 4.3.6 GA Released
The Apache HttpComponents project is pleased to announce 4.3.6 GA
release of HttpComponents HttpClient.
HttpClient 4.3.6 (GA) is a maintenance release that fixes several
problems with HttpClient OSGi bundle as well as some other issues
reported since release 4.3.5.
Please note that as of this release HttpClient disables all versions of
SSL (including SSLv3) in favor of the TLS protocol by default. Those
users who wish to continue using SSLv3 need to explicitly enable
support for it.
Users of all versions of HttpClient are advised to upgrade.

About HttpComponents HttpClient
The Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is perhaps the most significant
protocol used on the Internet today. Web services, network-enabled
appliances and the growth of network computing continue to expand the
role of the HTTP protocol beyond user-driven web browsers, while
increasing the number of applications that require HTTP support.
Although the java.net package provides basic functionality for accessing
resources via HTTP, it doesn't provide the full flexibility or
functionality needed by many applications. HttpClient seeks to fill this
void by providing an efficient, up-to-date, and feature-rich package
implementing the client side of the most recent HTTP standards and
recommendations.
Designed for extension while providing robust support for the base HTTP
protocol, HttpClient may be of interest to anyone building HTTP-aware
client applications such as web browsers, web service clients, or
systems that leverage or extend the HTTP protocol for distributed
communication.

Fwd: [ANNOUNCEMENT] HttpComponents Client 4.3.6 GA Released
Posted by Karl Wright <da...@gmail.com>.
Hi all,
When we upgrade MCF to use this version if HttpClient, we'll need to
explicitly enable SSL for all connectors that support it, since by default
it is now disabled in HttpClient, due to a security vulnerability. We may
want to tackle this only for MCF 1.8, since MCF 2.0 is by definition not
going to be backwards-compatible anyhow.
Thoughts?
Karl
