java.net.URI

What is the reason for retaining the 1.3 compatibility ?

I think that those who are using 1.3 JRE will be using HttpClient 3...
New major versions of frameworks in general would have to use all
possible features of the platform and language to make them more robust,
slim (Generics, additional Collections, Enums, java.util.concurrent,
javax.net.ssl, java.util.regex)...


Cheers,
Stojce

(1) HttpCore is meant to be the lowest layer in the HTTP component
stack. I think we should make an effort to keep it as generic as
possible

(2) Easy portability to J2ME platforms

Hello Stojce,

The Java version requirements were publicly discussed on this mailing
list before we made a decision. You can look it up in the archives:
