The Apache Software Foundation

We consider ourselves not simply a group of projects sharing a server, but rather a community of developers and users.

The Apache Software Foundation provides support for the Apache community of open-source software projects, which provide software products for the public good.

The Apache projects are defined by collaborative consensus based processes, an open, pragmatic software license and a desire to create high quality software that leads the way in its field.

The ASF is made up of nearly 100 top level projects that cover a wide range of technologies. Chances are if you are looking for a rewarding experience in Open Source, you are going to find it here.

• Apache Commons HttpClient

  Client-side HTTP implementation in Java.

  Commons HttpClient is a library for client-side HTTP communication. It provides support for HTTP/1.1 and HTTP/1.0, plus various authentication schemes and cookie policies. Thanks to it's widespread use and years of development, it is a very mature and stable codebase. However, due to limitations in the API design, Commons HttpClient will eventually be replaced by HttpClient 4.0 with a completely redesigned API based on HttpCore.
