+GNU Classpath - gnu.java.net.protocol.http
+
+
+
+
+This package contains an HTTP/1.1 client, as described in RFC 2616.
+It supports the following features:
+
+- Persistent connections
+- Basic and Digest authentication (RFC 2617)
+- HTTPS
+- HTTP proxies
+- HTTP/1.0 compatibility
+- Support for WebDAV methods and other HTTP extensions
+- Automatic decoding of the chunked transfer-coding
+- Parsing of HTTP date headers
+- Support for the 100-continue expectation
+
+
+
+
+The API is similar to the neon
+WebDAV/HTTP library. A logical connection to the server is instantiated,
+and multiple requests can be issued for this connection. Each request
+has an atomic dispatch method which returns the response.
+All I/O, authentication, etc is handled by registering callback objects
+with the request prior to dispatch, which are notified during the dispatch
+procedure as necessary. Simple byte-array content callbacks are supplied
+which can manage any request/response content that fits in available memory.
+
+
+
+An URL stream handler is provided, supporting the full HttpURLConnection
+specification.
