Logging messages and arrows

[Gary Gregory <ga...@gmail.com>]

Hi All:

This is a detail so you might not care.

In my apps in library, instead of using arrows made from characters like
"->" I use the proper Unicode character for that arrow like "→".

Any thoughts on updating our logging in HttpCore to do this?

Gary

This is not a pressing need. It just looks nicer.

I fully agree with Bindul. There is a lot of value in HC logs being
strictly ASCII and we should not sacrifice compatibility unless we have
a pressing need.

Gary,

I know of applications using http client which run in non UTF default
character encoding environments (for various reasons), and log
messages in those cases will have non-printable characters if this
change is made. So, if I may, please don't change the arrow. The plain
'->' is good enough, unless you have a pressing need to change it.

Also, maybe I am missing something, but wouldn't it be harder to use
tools like grep and search filters with the 'pretty arrow', you cant
just type that character from a standard keyboard.
