Contributed by Scott Stanton * [HTTPCORE-331] BasicFuture no longer executes notification callbacks inside a synchronized block. Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCORE-319] Non-blocking SSLIOSession can fail to shut down correctly when the underlying connection gets terminated abnormally by the opposite endpoint in case there is a truncated or corrupted encrypted content in the input buffer and there is still data in the output buffer that needs to be flushed out (most likely to occur with POST or PUT requests). Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski Release 4.2.3 ------------------- This maintenance release fixes a number of bugs found since 4.2.2 including a major bug in the NIO module that can cause an infinite loop in SSL sessions under special circumstances when the remote peer terminates the session in the middle of SSL handshake. Please note this issue does not affect blocking I/O components used by HttpClient. We advise users of HttpCore NIO of all versions to upgrade. Changelog ------------------- * [HTTPCORE-319, HTTPCORE-322] Non-blocking SSLIOSession can enter an infinite loop under special circumstances when the remote peer terminates the session in the middle of SSL handshake. Contributed by Paul Donohue and Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCORE-316] HeaderGroup#clone removes headers from the original object. Contributed by Markus Thies * [HTTPCORE-315] AbstractNIOConnPool fails to correctly deallocate connection if it is immediately released from the session request callback causing a resource leak. Contributed by Scott Stanton * [HTTPCORE-313] ContentType#parse now ignores empty and blank charset attributes. HttpEntityUtils#toString now throws checked I/O exception if it encounters an unsupported charset. Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski Release 4.2.2 ------------------- This is a maintenance release that fixes a number of bugs and regressions found since 4.2.1 including a major bug in the NIO module causing incorrect handling of outgoing Content-Length delimited messages larger than 2GB. Users of HttpCore 4.2 are advised to upgrade. Changelog ------------------- * [HTTPCORE-312] NIO length delimited content encoder incorrectly handles messages larger than 2GB.

Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPASYNC-21] request execution handler does not get closed in case of a premature HTTP exchange termination. Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCORE-303] ContentType made Serializable. Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski Release 4.2.1 ------------------- This is a maintenance release that fixes a non-critical number of bugs found since 4.2. Users of HttpCore 4.2 are encouraged to upgrade. Changelog ------------------- * [HTTPCORE-299] ContentType should rely on Charset#name() instead of Charset#toString() for building header value. Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCORE-263] Under rare circumstances incorrectly delineated or garbled HTTP message can cause an IndexOutOfBoundsException in AbstractSessionInputBuffer#readLine() Contributed by Michael Pujos * Made connection pools use FIFO algorithm instead of LIFO when leasing / releasing persistent connections.

Contributed by Sandeep Tamhankar * Fixed NPE in StringEntity constructor thrown if ContentType#getCharset is null. Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski Release 4.2 ------------------- This is the first stable (GA) release of HttpCore 4.2. The most notable features included in this release are connection pool components for blocking and non-blocking HTTP connections and new asynchronous client and server side protocol handlers. New protocol handling API used in conjunction with connection pooling components is expected to make development of asynchronous HTTP client agents and HTTP proxies easier and less error prone. Connection pool components are based on mature code migrated from HttpClient and HttpAsyncClient modules but have a slightly different API that makes a better use of Java standard concurrent primitives. Changelog ------------------- * Fixed HttpAsyncRequestExecutor incorrect execution of message exchanges that span across multiple hosts (for instance, in case of a request redirect). Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * AbstractHttpClientConnection#isResponseAvailable method now catches SocketTimeoutException and returns false.

Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski Release 4.2-ALPHA2 ------------------- This is the second ALPHA release of HttpCore 4.2. This release comes with completely redesigned and rewritten asynchronous protocol handlers. New protocol handling API used in conjunction with connection pooling components introduced in the previous ALPHA release is expected to make development of asynchronous HTTP client agents and HTTP proxies easier and less error prone. Sample application shipped with the release include an example of an HTTP file server capable of direct channel (zero copy) data transfer and an example of a non-blocking, fully streaming reverse proxy. We are kindly asking existing and prospective users of HttpCore to review and try out the new protocol handlers and give us feedback while the 4.2 API is still not final. If no major flaws are discovered the 4.2 API is expected to be frozen with the next BETA release. Please note that new features included in this release are still considered experimental and their API may change in the future ALPHA releases. This release also marks the end of support for Java 1.3. As of this release HttpCore requires Java 1.5 for all its components. Several classes and methods deprecated between versions 4.0-beta1 and 4.0 GA (more than two years ago) have been removed in this release. Changelog ------------------- * [HTTPCORE-270] Fixed IllegalStateException in AbstractSessionOutputBuffer and AbstractSessionInputBuffer. Contributed by William R. Speirs * [HTTPCORE-269] Connection pools incorrectly handle lease requests when the max limit for the given route has been exceeded and all connections in the route pool are stateful. Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski Release 4.2-ALPHA1 ------------------- This is the first ALPHA release of 4.2. The most notable feature included in this release is support for connection pools of blocking and non-blocking HTTP connections. Connection pool components are based on mature code migrated from HttpClient and HttpAsyncClient modules but have a slightly different API that makes a better use of Java standard concurrent primitives. Support for connection pools in HttpCore is expected to make development of client and proxy HTTP services easier and less error prone. Please note that new features included in this release are still considered experimental and their API may change in the future ALPHA releases. This release also marks the end of support for Java 1.3. As of this release HttpCore requires Java 1.5 for all its components.

Perera and Oleg Kalnichevski Release 4.0 ------------------- This is the first stable (GA) release of HttpCore 4.0. This release mainly improves the documentation and fixes a few minor bugs reported since the previous release. HttpCore now comes with a complete tutorial presenting an in-depth coverage of the API. HttpCore is a set of low level HTTP transport components that can be used to build custom client and server side HTTP services with a minimal footprint. HttpCore supports two I/O models: blocking I/O model based on the classic Java I/O and non-blocking, event driven I/O model based on Java NIO. The blocking I/O model may be more appropriate for data intensive, low latency scenarios, whereas the non-blocking model may be more appropriate for high latency scenarios where raw data throughput is less important than the ability to handle thousands of simultaneous HTTP connections in a resource efficient manner. * [HTTPCORE-180] Fixed NPE in standard I/O event dispatchers when IOEventDispatch#disconnected fires before the session was fully initialized (IOEventDispatch#connected was not called). Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCORE-175] Chunk decoders no longer accept truncated chunks as valid input. Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski Release 4.0 Beta 3 ------------------- The third BETA version of HttpComponents Core has been released.

Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCORE-172] Added #close() method to SharedInputBuffer and SharedOutputBuffer. The purpose of the new method is to close the buffer in case of normal / orderly termination of the underlying HTTP connection. Use #shutdown() method to force-close the buffer in case of abnormal / exceptional termination of the underlying connection. Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCORE-170] Fixed race condition in SharedOutputBuffer. Contributed by Jason Walton * [HTTPCORE-169] Fixed bug causing connecting I/O reactors to shut down due to ClosedChannelException if a pending session request is cancelled before the new channel has been registered with the selector. Contributed by Anders Wallgren * [HTTPCORE-167] Fixed handling the end of stream (EOF) condition in the #isStale() check of blocking HTTP connections. Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCORE-166] NIO reactors now maintain an audit log of fatal exceptions, which can be used to examine the cause and problems experienced during the shutdown process. Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCORE-165] Improved handling of CancelledKeyException in I/O reactors Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski Release 4.0 Beta 2 ------------------- The second BETA version of HttpComponents Core has been released. This release adds a number of improvements to the NIO components, most notable being improved asynchronous client side and server side protocol handlers.

Contributed by Sam Berlin * Fixed concurrency bug in the ThrottlingHttpServerHandler protocol handler. Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * Fixed bug in SharedInputBuffer that caused input events to be incorrectly suspended. Contributed by Asankha C. Perera * [HTTPCORE-150] Entity implementation that serializes a Java object Contributed by Andrea Selva * [HTTPCORE-157] ChunkedOutputStream#flush() now behaves consistently with the specification of OutputStream#flush(). Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCORE-147] Fixed handling of requests with partially consumed content in ThrottlingHttpServiceHandler. Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCORE-92] ChunkEncoder splits input data larger than available space in the session output buffer into smaller chunks instead of expanding the buffer. Contributed by Andrea Selva and Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCORE-149] I/O reactors now count period of inactivity since the time of the last read or write operation. Previously only read operations resulted in timeout counter reset. Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCORE-148] Improved asynchronous server and client HTTP protocol handler implementations. Contributed by Sam Berlin * [HTTPCORE-143] Ensure the underlying channel is closed if the session request is canceled or times out.

Contributed by Lorenzo Moretti and Oleg Kalnichevski Release 4.0 Beta 1 ------------------- The first BETA version of HttpComponents Core has been released. This release can be considered a major milestone, as it marks the end of API instability in HttpCore. As of this release the API compatibility between minor releases in 4.x codeline will be maintained. This release includes several major improvements such as enhanced HTTP message parsing API and optimized parser implementations, Java 5.0 compatibility for HttpCore NIO extensions. Upstream projects are strongly encouraged to upgrade to the latest release. The focus of the development efforts will be gradually shifting towards providing better test coverage, documentation and performance optimizations.

Contributed by Steffen Pingel * [HTTPCORE-71]: HttpParams can be copied. Contributed by Roland Weber * [HTTPCORE-75]: DefaultNHttpServerConnection and DefaultNHttpClientConnection now correctly terminate the underlying I/O session when closed. BufferingHttpServiceHandler now correctly applies connection keep-alive strategy when sending a response with no content body. Contributed by Steffen Pingel * [HTTPCORE-73]: Fixed bug preventing NHttpServiceHandler#responseReady and NHttpClientHandler#requestReady events from being fired if the HTTP message has no content body. Contributed by Steffen Pingel * [HTTPCORE-67]: Improved event listener interface Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCORE-43]: Support for FileChannel#transferFrom() and FileChannel#transferTo() methods. Direct coping from and to FileChannel is expected to improve performance of file bound operations Contributed by Andrea Selva * [HTTPCORE-66]: Fixed handling of HTTP HEAD methods Contributed by Steffen Pingel and Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCORE-58]: NIO HTTP connections changed to throw checked ConnectionClosedException instead of unchecked IllegalStateException when an attempt is made to perform an I/O operation on a closed conection Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCORE-56]: DefaultConnectingIOReactor no longer terminates due to a CancelledKeyException, if a session request gets canceled before selection key is fully initialized. Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski Release 4.0 Alpha 4 ------------------- The forth ALPHA version of HttpComponents Core has been released. The ALPHA4 release fixes a number of bugs and adds a number of improvements to HttpCore base and HttpCore NIO extensions. HttpCore NIO can be used to build HTTP services intended to handle thousands of simultaneous connections with a small number of I/O threads. This release also introduces NIOSSL extensions that can be used to extend HttpCore non-blocking transport components with ability to transparently encrypt data in transit using SSL/TLS protocol. * [HTTPCORE-49]: DefaultConnectingIOReactor can now correctly handle unresolved socket addresses. It no longer terminates with the UnresolvedAddressException runtime exception. Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCORE-42]: Added server side API for the expectation verification. Improved support for the 'expect: continue' handshake in HttpCore and HttpCore NIO. Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCORE-26]: Added SSL support for HttpCore NIO. Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCORE-40]: API classes no longer reference impl classes in module-main. Contributed by Roland Weber * [HTTPCORE-39]: Refactored HttpStatus, spun off [English]ReasonPhraseFactory. Contributed by Roland Weber * [HTTPCORE-32]: HttpRequestInterceptorList, HttpResponseInterceptorList Contributed by Roland Weber * [HTTPCORE-38]: Packages nio.impl.* are now impl.nio.*, same for examples. Contributed by Roland Weber * [HTTPCORE-27]: I/O reactors can now accept a thread factory as an optional parameter. Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCORE-36]: Fixed #setHandlers() method and matching of request URIs with a query part in HttpRequestHandlerRegistry Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCORE-28]: DefaultConnectingIOReactor now maintains a queue of connect requests and registers new sessions with the selector on the I/O thread. Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCORE-29] DefaultConnectingIOReactor changed to ensure IOExceptions are correctly propagated to the caller, if an exception is thrown while initializing a newly connected socket. Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCORE-24] Fixed bug in non-blocking connection implementations, which prevented the session buffer from being correctly flushed when the content coding process has been completed. Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCORE-23] Fixed threading bug in DefaultConnectingIOReactor. Contributed by Asankha C. Perera Release 4.0 Alpha 3 ------------------- The third ALPHA version of HttpCore has been released. The ALPHA3 release includes a number of API optimizations and improvements and introduces a set of NIO extensions to the HttpCore API. NIO extensions can be used to build HTTP services intended to handle thousands of simultaneous connections with a small number of I/O threads. * [HTTPCORE-15] Provided a interafce to access IP address of the local and remote end points. Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [ HTTPCORE-14] Scheme, SocketFactory and SecureSocketFactory moved to HttpClient. Decoupled HttpHost and Scheme. Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCORE-13] Refactored HttpProcessor interface and related impl classes Contributed by Roland Weber * [HTTPCORE-11] Client connection interface no longer defines a specific method to open a connection. HTTP connections can now represent any abstract I/O transport such as those based on NIO API. Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCORE-10] Non-blocking (async) client side I/O transport based on NIO. Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCORE-9] Non-blocking (async) server side I/O transport based on NIO. Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCORE-7] ConnectionReuseStrategy interface changed to allow access to the HTTP execution context. Contributed by Roland Weber * [HTTPCORE-6] Header implementation allowing for performance short-cuts when serializing and deserializing HTTP headers. Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski * [HTTPCORE-5] Header, HeaderElement, NameValuePair, RequestLine, StatusLine, HttpVersion changed to interfaces. API no longer contains any parsing and formatting code and does not imply any specific physical representation of HTTP messages and their elements. Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski Release 4.0 Alpha 2 ------------------- This is a maintenance release that mostly fixes minor problems found since the previous release. The upstream projects are strongly encouraged use this release as a dependency while HttpCore undergoes another round of reviews and optimization in the SVN trunk Changelog: --------- * [HTTPCORE-4] optional header and line length limits to contain OOME risks Contributed by Oleg Kalnichevski Release 4.0 Alpha 1 ------------------- This release represents a complete redesign of the Jakarta Commons HttpClient 3.x API and a significant rewrite of the core HTTP components derived from HttpClient 3.0 code base. These components will form the foundation of the future releases of Jakarta HttpClient and can also be used separately to build custom client- and server-side HTTP services.
