If we want to do a minor update (2.3) we should not introduce new Major dependencies (unless optional), so having a http4 package and an optional dependency on http3+http4 sounds like the better solution.

Some of these classes surface the HttpClient class from 3.1 in APIs marked public. Looking forward to HttpClient 4 and 5-Alpha/Beta, I wonder how to move forward. We could: - Create a new package org.apache.commons.vfs2.provider.http4, or - Break BC on the classes in org.apache.commons.vfs2.provider.http Thoughts? Gary
