rc2 status

Hi All,

Is there a listing anywhere of the bugs that have been found in rc2?  
We're going to release a new beta (the first release that will be using 
HttpClient), and I'd just like to verify that the bugs that have been 
found in rc2 will not effect us.  From what I can recall of emails on 
this list, nothing has... but it never hurts to double-check.

Thanks,
  Sam

Hi Oleg,

Thanks for the pointer.  I ended up actually taking the source of rc2 
and applying my own patches to work with Java 1.1.8 (using 
collections.jar instead of Vector/Hashtable, etc.. -- a simple script 
looking for certain imports and changing them to 
com.sun.java.util.collections worked rather well), among some other 
changes (such as the idle-connection timeouts, adding the abort() 
method, changing getResponseContentLength or somesuch method to be 
public instead of protected, naming newly created threads, etc..), so 
as long as rc2 itself has no showstoppers, we're good.  You're correct 
in that the NTML proxy and authentication don't impact us.

I'll peak through CVS and bugzilla tonight.

Thanks,
  Sam

Sam,
Rather unfortunately, we have to admit that we all happened to be a
bunch of undisciplined (or very busy (or both)) individuals. We have
tried several times to keep the changelog document in sync with CVS
commits but have failed miserably. In this situation CVS is your best
(and only) friend. 

I think this one-liner bug that may have not been fixed at the time I
had forked HttpClient. You definitely have to make sure that the fix
made it into your application's code. Even though the bug seems to have
affected NTLM authentication only, it is pretty nasty one with lots of
potential side effects:

http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24327

The latest NTLM proxy + basic host authentication trouble should have no
impart on you, I believe. Apart from that there were no other major bugs
I can think of at the moment.

Cheers

Oleg
