[jira] [Commented] (HTTPCLIENT-1238) Contribute Bundle Activator
And Central Proxy Configuration
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1238?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13465689#comment-13465689 ]
Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPCLIENT-1238:
-----------------------------------------------
Dominique
I took a cursory look at the patch and can give you some feedback right away.
(1) There is no way we could add OSGi dependencies directly to the base module. That would break pretty much every instance of HttpClient used outside an OSGi container. Whatever changes we do to make HttpClient more OSGi friendly they need to be confined to the httpclient-osgi module.
I do not know if this is easy or possible at all but this is a few option that I can see. One possibility would be overriding the stock versions of DefaultHttpRoutePlanner and DefaultHttpClient through some sort of class loader magic. Alternatively we could provide an OSGi aware HttpClientBuilder implementation (only available in 4.3 version on trunk) in the httpclient-osgi module. The downside of the latter would be having to instruct the users to explicitly use that custom builder when targeting OSGi environments.
(2) Is dependency on Sling Commons really necessary? Could we do without it? I could imagine moving ProxySelector to the base module if it did not come with additional external dependencies.
(3) All this stuff should probably go into 4.3 in order to go through proper ALPHA / BETA / GA QA cycle. So, ideally, it should not be using any deprecated code.
