How is lib-http plugin called? It is not there in plugins.include!

[Manoharam Reddy <ma...@gmail.com>]

I was observing plugins.include property of my nutch-site.xml

It has has:-

<value>protocol-http|urlfilter-regex|parse-(text|html|js)|index-basic|query-(basic|site|url)|
summary-basic|scoring-opic|urlnormalizer-(pass|regex|basic)</value>

We can see that it doesn't have "lib-http". But I have seen that
lib-http is used in protocol-http. In the HttpResponse.java of
lib-http, it refers to HttpBase.java which is present in lib-http.

So, when lib-http is not included in plugins.include, how does lib-http work?

When plugin.auto-activation is set to true, dependent plugins are also 
loaded in a recursive fashion.  In this case we load protocol-http which 
depends on nutch-extensionpoints and lib-http, therefore all three 
plugins are loaded.  If you set the auto activation to false then you 
would need to explicitly specify all plugins in the plugin.includes 
configuration variable.
