[jira] Commented: (HTTPCLIENT-916) RFE: Make Credentials
Serializable
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-916?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12837140#action_12837140 ]
Johannes Koch commented on HTTPCLIENT-916:
------------------------------------------
AFAIK, classes implementing Serializable must have a non-argument constructor and non-final member variables. This would have to be changed. However, I support this request. Or add a way to create serializable versions of Credentials (and Headers?).
> RFE: Make Credentials Serializable
> ----------------------------------
>
> Key: HTTPCLIENT-916
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-916
> Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: HttpClient
> Affects Versions: 4.0.1
> Reporter: Daniel Gredler
> Priority: Minor
> Original Estimate: 0.25h
> Remaining Estimate: 0.25h
>
> I've been working on upgrading the HtmlUnit library to use HttpClient 4, and I've realized that we could eliminate some hackish internal code if Credentials instances were Serializable. I don't really see a downside, and this would be a huge convenience for us.
> The change would involve making the org.apache.http.auth.Credentials interface extend Serializable, and having org.apache.http.auth.BasicUserPrincipal and org.apache.http.auth.NTUserPrincipal implement Serializable (plus serialVersionUIDs where appropriate, I guess).
