Re: [ecf-dev] testing httpclient provider

Oops...here's [3] https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=220240

Also, the p2-dev posting is now in the archive http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/p2-dev/msg00239.html

FYI, we've been requested by the Equinox p2 team to move to using the httpclient-based provider rather than one based upon Urlconnection. Several companies have found the httpclient-based provider to be more robust in the face particularly of 'misbehaved' servers (which some people seem to be encountering with p2/ecf...e.g.: [1])

We have the httpclient-based filetransfer provider already developed, and so we can/will make it available for p2/Eclipse platform. I've been adding some to the https security as per [2]. This work is largely complete at this point, and so we now need to test this new provider as much as we can, so I've solicited testing via the p2 team (see note below).

Please also install and test this provider from within Eclipse and/or p2...by installing from public/internal update sites...and reporting any problems. To get started, go to [3], please add yourself to the bug, then go to wiki page to get/install this new provider.

Thanksinadvance for help with testing.

Hi Folks,

As we discussed on the Monday call, we (ECF) have been completing some security work on the httpclient-based filetransfer provider and now would like to solicit help with testing this provider 'in the wild' prior to deploying with p2 M3.

On this bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=220240 I've pointed to a wiki page that has a build of the ECF httpclient-based provider zipped up into a p2 md/artifact repository. If you are able, please download the zip from the wiki page, and use the repos to install (into Eclipse presumably...but in fact you can install into other p2 environments if you wish). After doing this, when you go to install anything using p2, you will then be using this httpclient-based provider for http and https. Obviously this isn't meant for a production environment yet, so keep that in mind (and keep another Eclipse config around).

Thanksinadvance for the help testing.

Scott
