Some Good News

Hi all,
I've just finished porting our application over to using the latest 
HttpClient.  We had previously been using a build from back in the 
HttpMultiClient days and it actually went very smoothly.  The speed 
improvement is quite noticable though I'm not entirely sure what speed 
improvements have gone in and most importantly the changes to the API 
weren't that difficult to accomodate.  I have one patch that I've 
finally merged forward to the latest version which provides a callback 
interface for adjusting HostConfigurations which makes supporting proxy 
configuration scripts possible.  I'll clean that up and attach it to a 
bug report ready for 2.1.

Anyway, to all involved congratulations on such a wonderful effort in 
both improving the reliability and feature set of HttpClient as well as 
maintaining a reasonable amount of backwards compatibility!

Regards,

Adrian Sutton.
