--------------------------------------------

[~sebb@apache.org] This logging can lead to major security issue.

> Hi,
> We are using commons-httpclient.jar version-3.1 for connecting to web service. Data being sent for authentication is sensitive data containing private keys used for authentication. But when i enable debug level logging for my connection, org.apache.http.wire is this jar prints this sensitive information in log. How can I disable this? Is this known issue? 
> This can be major security issue as somebody can easily get sensitive information in logs this way.
> Thanks,
> Vijay
