This release completes development of several +notable enhancements in HttpClient: + +* New facade API for HttpClient based on the concept of a fluent interface. The fluent API exposes + only the most fundamental functions of HttpClient and is intended for relatively simple use cases + that do not require the full flexibility of HttpClient. However, the fluent API almost fully + relieves the users from having to deal with connection management and resource deallocation. + +* Redesigned and rewritten connection management code. As of release 4.2 HttpClient will be using + pooling connection manager per default. + +* Enhanced HTTP authentication API that enables HttpClient to handle more complex authentication + scenarios. HttpClient 4.2 is now capable of making use of multiple authentication challenges + and retry authentication with a fall-back scheme in case the primary one fails. This can be + important for compatibility with Microsoft products that are often configured to use + SPNEGO/Kerberos as the preferred authentication scheme. + + +Changelog +------------------- + * [HTTPCLIENT-1154] MemcachedHttpCacheStorage should allow client to specify custom prefix string for keys.
