Re: [orbit-dev] replacing HttpClient Core 4.4.4 with 4.4.6

I am basically fine with it, but suggest with check explicitly with Scott Lewis (ECF) and the cross-project list proactively rather than just spring it on them. Even if their "source code still compiles" there is a chance behavior might change, as always, so it implies some amount of additional testing as well as re-builds and re-packaging.

Are you concerned about conflicts because it uses singletons?

In addition to conflicts within Sim Release there would be conflicts from unknown adopters.

Also, it would be best to be sure the bundles "import what they export" (since the package may come from different class loader "sources"). And, I suggest, we just tell everyone they *must* use "import package" for this case. (I am not sure we say that with ICU, but is a similar case where "import package" is the only option that makes sense.) Have we found a case where "require bundle" is used?

Those are just my quick thoughts -- I have only been skim reading the longer on-going discussion, so perhaps all this has been discussed already.

Thanks for reading,

Hi,

I would like to go ahead with a change that updates HttpClient Core to version 4.4.6 [1].

As part of this change I would like to remove 4.4.4 from Orbit to avoid any potential conflicts. Please let me know if anyone needs version 4.4.4 specifically and we can consider leaving that in the repository as well.

The main driver are the bug fixes in the latest version of HttpClient Core: http://www.apache.org/dist/httpcomponents/httpcore/RELEASE_NOTES-4.4.x.txt
