This BETA release adds support for advanced TLS functions (such as ALPN protocol negotiation) on Java 1.7 and Java 1.8 through Conscrypt TLS library and picks up the latest fixes and performance improvements from HttpCore. Notable new features in this release: ------------------------------------- * TLS ALPN protocol negotiation support on older JREs through Conscrypt TLS library. Notable changes and features in the 5.0 series: ----------------------------------------------- * Support for the HTTP/2 protocol and conformance to requirements and recommendations of the latest HTTP/2 protocol specification documents (RFC 7540, RFC 7541.) Supported features: ** HPACK header compression ** Stream multiplexing (client and server) ** Flow control ** Response push ** Message trailers ** Expect-continue handshake ** Connection validation (ping) ** Application-layer protocol negotiation (ALPN) on Java 9.0.1+ ** TLS 1.2 security features * Improved conformance to requirements and recommendations of the latest HTTP/1.1 protocol specification documents (RFC 7230, RFC 7231.) * New connection pool implementation with lax connection limit guarantees and better performance under higher concurrency due to absence of a global pool lock. * Package name space changed to 'org.apache.hc.client5'. * Maven group id changed to 'org.apache.httpcomponents.client5'. HttpClient 5.0 releases can be co-located with earlier major versions on the same classpath due to the change in package names and Maven module coordinates. The 5.0 APIs are considered feature complete and are not expected to undergo any major changes anymore. The focus of development is now shifting to API polish, code stabilization and documentation improvements. Download - Release notes - < https://www.apache.org/dist/httpcomponents/httpclient/RELEASE_NOTES-5.0.x.txt > HttpComponents site - About HttpComponents HttpClient The Hyper-Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) is perhaps the most significant protocol used on the Internet today. Web services, network-enabled appliances and the growth of network computing continue to expand the role of the HTTP protocol beyond user-driven web browsers, while increasing the number of applications that require HTTP support. Although the java.net package provides basic functionality for accessing resources via HTTP, it doesn't provide the full flexibility or functionality needed by many applications. HttpClient seeks to fill this void by providing an efficient, up-to-date, and feature-rich package implementing the client side of the most recent HTTP standards and recommendations. Designed for extension while providing robust support for the base HTTP protocol, HttpClient may be of interest to anyone building HTTP-aware client applications such as web browsers, web service clients, or systems that leverage or extend the HTTP protocol for distributed communication.
