Current Status

Quite a lot of progress had been made in the 3.0 branch and we are nearly ready for our first beta release. At this point HttpClient 3.0 is fully feature-complete and is just a few issue reports short of being code and documentation complete. We strongly encourage all current HttpClient users to have a look at the new and improved 3.0 API before we freeze API changes for the first beta release. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

The preview of the HttpClient 3.0 site can be found here .

HttpClient 2.0 is no longer being actively developed, with the exception of bug fixes and minor enhancements. 2.0.2 is the latest stable release.

It is important to note that HttpClient CVS HEAD is no longer fully compatible with 2.0.x APIs. We encourage using the HTTPCLIENT_2_0_BRANCH for production development until the 3.0 APIs are stabilized. API incompatibilities with HttpClient 2.0.x are described here .

Bug reports targeted for the next release can be found here .
