Bad link from Commons
The link:
Commons Httpclient (http://commons.apache.org/httpclient/)
is currently redirected as follows:
Redirect Permanent /httpclient http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-3.x
However, that does not exist; HC 3.1 is now at
http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-legacy/
Instead, there are the following redirects:
Redirect permanent /httpclient-3.x/index.html /httpcomponents-client-ga/
Redirect permanent /httpclient-3.x/userguide.html /httpcomponents-client-ga/
Redirect permanent /httpclient-3.x/tutorial.html
/httpcomponents-client-ga/tutorial/html/
Redirect permanent /httpclient-3.x/methods.html
/httpcomponents-client-ga/tutorial/html/
Redirect permanent /httpclient-3.x/sslguide.html
/httpcomponents-client-ga/tutorial/html/
Redirect permanent /httpclient-3.x/authentication.html
/httpcomponents-client-ga/tutorial/html/
Redirect permanent /httpclient-3.x/threading.html
/httpcomponents-client-ga/tutorial/html/
Redirect permanent /httpclient-3.x/features.html
/httpcomponents-client-ga/tutorial/html/
Redirect permanent /httpclient-3.x/cookies.html
/httpcomponents-client-ga/tutorial/html/
Redirect permanent /httpclient-3.x/redirects.html
/httpcomponents-client-ga/tutorial/html/
Redirect permanent /httpclient-3.x/logging.html
/httpcomponents-client-ga/logging.html
I don't understand why HC3.x redirects to the current version of HttpClient.
Would it not be better to redirect to the 3.x documentation, but add a
warning at the top of the index page to explain that the current HC is
elsewhere?
In any case, we need to direct
http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-3.x
somewhere.
As a temporary measure I have added a soft link from httpclient-3.x =>
httpclient-legacy but this is not ideal.

No problem - it was interesting using Maven 1 again ;-)
I guess we need to keep an eye on Google searches in case they revert
to the 3.1 code.

I've updated the HC3.1 trunk - which is what seems to have been used
to create the existing site - and added EOL paras to the main
top-level files:
features
index
news
overview
userguide
These have now been uploaded to people.
The previous files were copied to the directory feb2008
I've also removed the redirects.
Hope that all works OK.

I see.
Google does now direct searchers to
hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga so perhaps it has now caught up
(or maybe the redirect has done its job).

I think the best is to drop the redirects, but first ensure that the
HC 3.1 page(s) are updated to direct users to the new code.
That should be done anyway.
I'll work towards that.

Sebastian,
That was the only way I could think of to make Google top search results
refer to the latest HC version. See HTTPCLIENT-1029 [1] for details.
Feel free to remove those redirects or point them at a different
location.
