[platform-webdav-dev] Extracting HTTP management from WebDav/FTP Compone

[celek@xxxxxxxxxx]

The update team wants to improve its URL management and thus wants to
extract some code form WebDav/FTP.

Currently we are unable to cancel a URL connection, we do not provide
sufficient proxy management and the authentication management does not
support multiple Authenticator. We are about to copy some code from
FTP/WebDav component and include it into UM... any recommendations before
We start ?

Should we 'just' extract the http client code; include it in Core so both
of the component can use it ?

thanks
