[p2-dev] httpclient4-based file transfer provider

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've added to the ECF codebase a new filetransfer provider based upon Apache httpclient4 (httpcomponents).  

This could possibly be used in future versions of p2/Equinox...but it will *not* be in the Juno release.

See this comment/bug for further details/info [1].  I would request some help from other p2 committers/community in testing for regression this new provider under various proxy conditions, as I don't have access to all the various configurations of proxies that people will wish to use.

Thanks,

Scott
