[ANNOUNCEMENT] HttpComponents HttpCore 4.1-beta2 Released
Aug/100
The Apache HttpComponents project is pleased to announce the release of HttpComponents HttpCore 4.1-beta2. This version fixes a number of non-critical bugs found since the previous release. The 4.1 code line is expected to supersede 4.0 as recommended for use in production with the next release. Download - <http://hc.apache.org/downloads.cgi> Release notes - <http://www.apache.org/dist/httpcomponents/httpcore/RELEASE_NOTES.txt> HttpComponents site - <http://hc.apache.org/> About HttpComponents Core - 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.
