Hi Asankha

I am sorry about inconveniences this has caused you

I submitted a patch intended to upgrade Axis2 to HttpCore 4.0 ALPHA-3 
[1] the same very day HttpCore 4.0a3 was released. Unfortunately the 
patch still has not been reviewed and checked in by the Axis folks.

We will start maintaining API compatibility between releases as of 
BETA-1. At this point we still would like to have the liberty of 
changing the public interfaces if new requirements are discovered or if 
we see a better (cleaner) way to get the job done. Chances are good 
ALPHA-4 will be the last alpha release of HttpCore. Actually I 
personally think we can start thinking about the API freeze as soon as 
we are reasonably sure HttpCore NIO API is sane.
