+/**
+ * <p>
+ * Codec for the Quoted-Printable section of <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1521.txt">RFC 1521 </a>.
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * The Quoted-Printable encoding is intended to represent data that largely consists of octets that correspond to
+ * printable characters in the ASCII character set. It encodes the data in such a way that the resulting octets are
+ * unlikely to be modified by mail transport. If the data being encoded are mostly ASCII text, the encoded form of the
+ * data remains largely recognizable by humans. A body which is entirely ASCII may also be encoded in Quoted-Printable
+ * to ensure the integrity of the data should the message pass through a character- translating, and/or line-wrapping
+ * gateway.
+ * </p>
+ * 
+ * <p>
+ * Note:
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * Rules #3, #4, and #5 of the quoted-printable spec are not implemented yet because the complete quoted-printable spec
+ * does not lend itself well into the byte[] oriented codec framework. Complete the codec once the steamable codec
+ * framework is ready. The motivation behind providing the codec in a partial form is that it can already come in handy
+ * for those applications that do not require quoted-printable line formatting (rules #3, #4, #5), for instance Q codec.
+ * </p>
+ * 
+ * @see <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1521.txt"> RFC 1521 MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) Part One:

+/**
+ * <p>A simple logging interface abstracting logging APIs.  In order to be
+ * instantiated successfully by {@link LogFactory}, classes that implement
+ * this interface must have a constructor that takes a single String
+ * parameter representing the "name" of this Log.</p>
+ *
+ * <p> The six logging levels used by <code>Log</code> are (in order):
+ * <ol>
+ * <li>trace (the least serious)</li>
+ * <li>debug</li>
+ * <li>info</li>
+ * <li>warn</li>
+ * <li>error</li>
+ * <li>fatal (the most serious)</li>
+ * </ol>
+ * The mapping of these log levels to the concepts used by the underlying
+ * logging system is implementation dependent.
+ * The implemention should ensure, though, that this ordering behaves
+ * as expected.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>Performance is often a logging concern.
+ * By examining the appropriate property,
+ * a component can avoid expensive operations (producing information
+ * to be logged).</p>
+ *
+ * <p> For example,
+ * <code><pre>
+ *    if (log.isDebugEnabled()) {
+ *        ... do something expensive ...
+ *        log.debug(theResult);
+ *    }
+ * </pre></code>
+ * </p>
+ *
+ * <p>Configuration of the underlying logging system will generally be done
+ * external to the Logging APIs, through whatever mechanism is supported by
+ * that system.</p>

+/**
+ * <p>Simple implementation of Log that sends all enabled log messages,
+ * for all defined loggers, to System.err.  The following system properties
+ * are supported to configure the behavior of this logger:</p>
+ * <ul>
+ * <li><code>org.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.defaultlog</code> -
+ *     Default logging detail level for all instances of SimpleLog.
+ *     Must be one of ("trace", "debug", "info", "warn", "error", or "fatal").
+ *     If not specified, defaults to "info". </li>
+ * <li><code>org.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.log.xxxxx</code> -
+ *     Logging detail level for a SimpleLog instance named "xxxxx".
+ *     Must be one of ("trace", "debug", "info", "warn", "error", or "fatal").
+ *     If not specified, the default logging detail level is used.</li>
+ * <li><code>org.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.showlogname</code> -
+ *     Set to <code>true</code> if you want the Log instance name to be
+ *     included in output messages. Defaults to <code>false</code>.</li>
+ * <li><code>org.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.showShortLogname</code> -
+ *     Set to <code>true</code> if you want the last component of the name to be
+ *     included in output messages. Defaults to <code>true</code>.</li>
+ * <li><code>org.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.showdatetime</code> -
+ *     Set to <code>true</code> if you want the current date and time
+ *     to be included in output messages. Default is <code>false</code>.</li>
+ * <li><code>org.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.dateTimeFormat</code> -
+ *     The date and time format to be used in the output messages.
+ *     The pattern describing the date and time format is the same that is
+ *     used in <code>java.text.SimpleDateFormat</code>. If the format is not
+ *     specified or is invalid, the default format is used.
+ *     The default format is <code>yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss:SSS zzz</code>.</li>
+ * </ul>
+ *
+ * <p>In addition to looking for system properties with the names specified
+ * above, this implementation also checks for a class loader resource named
+ * <code>"simplelog.properties"</code>, and includes any matching definitions
+ * from this resource (if it exists).</p>

+/**
+ * <p>Implementation of <code>Hashtable</code> that uses <code>WeakReference</code>'s
+ * to hold its keys thus allowing them to be reclaimed by the garbage collector.
+ * The associated values are retained using strong references.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>This class follows the symantics of <code>Hashtable</code> as closely as
+ * possible. It therefore does not accept null values or keys.</p>
+ *
+ * <p><strong>Note:</strong>
+ * This is <em>not</em> intended to be a general purpose hash table replacement.
+ * This implementation is also tuned towards a particular purpose: for use as a replacement
+ * for <code>Hashtable</code> in <code>LogFactory</code>. This application requires
+ * good liveliness for <code>get</code> and <code>put</code>. Various tradeoffs
+ * have been made with this in mind.
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * <strong>Usage:</strong> typical use case is as a drop-in replacement 
+ * for the <code>Hashtable</code> used in <code>LogFactory</code> for J2EE enviroments
+ * running 1.3+ JVMs. Use of this class <i>in most cases</i> (see below) will
+ * allow classloaders to be collected by the garbage collector without the need 
+ * to call {@link org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory#release(ClassLoader) LogFactory.release(ClassLoader)}.
+ * </p>
+ *
+ * <p><code>org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory</code> checks whether this class
+ * can be supported by the current JVM, and if so then uses it to store
+ * references to the <code>LogFactory</code> implementationd it loads 
+ * (rather than using a standard Hashtable instance). 
+ * Having this class used instead of <code>Hashtable</code> solves
+ * certain issues related to dynamic reloading of applications in J2EE-style
+ * environments. However this class requires java 1.3 or later (due to its use
+ * of <code>java.lang.ref.WeakReference</code> and associates).
+ * And by the way, this extends <code>Hashtable</code> rather than <code>HashMap</code>
+ * for backwards compatibility reasons. See the documentation
+ * for method <code>LogFactory.createFactoryStore</code> for more details.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>The reason all this is necessary is due to a issue which
+ * arises during hot deploy in a J2EE-like containers. 
+ * Each component running in the container owns one or more classloaders; when
+ * the component loads a LogFactory instance via the component classloader
+ * a reference to it gets stored in the static LogFactory.factories member,
+ * keyed by the component's classloader so different components don't
+ * stomp on each other. When the component is later unloaded, the container
+ * sets the component's classloader to null with the intent that all the 
+ * component's classes get garbage-collected. However there's still a
+ * reference to the component's classloader from a key in the "global"
+ * <code>LogFactory</code>'s factories member! If <code>LogFactory.release()</code>
+ * is called whenever component is unloaded, the classloaders will be correctly
+ * garbage collected; this <i>should</i> be done by any container that 
+ * bundles commons-logging by default. However, holding the classloader
+ * references weakly ensures that the classloader will be garbage collected
+ * without the container performing this step. </p>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * <strong>Limitations:</strong>
+ * There is still one (unusual) scenario in which a component will not 
+ * be correctly unloaded without an explicit release. Though weak references
+ * are used for its keys, it is necessary to use strong references for its values.
+ * </p>
+ * 
+ * <p> If the abstract class <code>LogFactory</code> is 
+ * loaded by the container classloader but a subclass of 
+ * <code>LogFactory</code> [LogFactory1] is loaded by the component's 
+ * classloader and an instance stored in the static map associated with the
+ * base LogFactory class, then there is a strong reference from the LogFactory
+ * class to the LogFactory1 instance (as normal) and a strong reference from
+ * the LogFactory1 instance to the component classloader via
+ * <code>getClass().getClassLoader()</code>. This chain of references will prevent 
+ * collection of the child classloader.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>
+ * Such a situation occurs when the commons-logging.jar is
+ * loaded by a parent classloader (e.g. a server level classloader in a
+ * servlet container) and a custom <code>LogFactory</code> implementation is
+ * loaded by a child classloader (e.g. a web app classloader).</p>
+ * 
+ * <p>To avoid this scenario, ensure
+ * that any custom LogFactory subclass is loaded by the same classloader as 
+ * the base <code>LogFactory</code>. Creating custom LogFactory subclasses is,
+ * however, rare. The standard LogFactoryImpl class should be sufficient
+ * for most or all users.</p>

+<p>Simple wrapper API around multiple logging APIs.</p>
+
+
+<h3>Overview</h3>
+
+<p>This package provides an API for logging in server-based applications that
+can be used around a variety of different logging implementations, including
+prebuilt support for the following:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><a href="http://logging.apache.org/log4j/">Log4J</a> (version 1.2 or later)
+    from Apache's Jakarta project.  Each named <a href="Log.html">Log</a>
+    instance is connected to a corresponding Log4J Logger.</li>
+<li><a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/guide/util/logging/index.html">
+    JDK Logging API</a>, included in JDK 1.4 or later systems.  Each named
+    <a href="Log.html">Log</a> instance is connected to a corresponding
+    <code>java.util.logging.Logger</code> instance.</li>
+<li><a href="http://avalon.apache.org/logkit/">LogKit</a> from Apache's
+    Avalon project.  Each named <a href="Log.html">Log</a> instance is
+    connected to a corresponding LogKit <code>Logger</code>.</li>
+<li><a href="impl/NoOpLog.html">NoOpLog</a> implementation that simply swallows
+    all log output, for all named <a href="Log.html">Log</a> instances.</li>
+<li><a href="impl/SimpleLog.html">SimpleLog</a> implementation that writes all
+    log output, for all named <a href="Log.html">Log</a> instances, to
+    System.err.</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<h3>Quick Start Guide</h3>
+
+<p>For those impatient to just get on with it, the following example
+illustrates the typical declaration and use of a logger that is named (by
+convention) after the calling class:
+
+<pre>
+    import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
+    import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;
+
+    public class Foo {
+
+        private Log log = LogFactory.getLog(Foo.class);
+
+        public void foo() {
+            ...
+            try {
+                if (log.isDebugEnabled()) {
+                    log.debug("About to do something to object " + name);
+                }
+                name.bar();
+            } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
+                log.error("Something bad happened to " + name, e);
+            }
+            ...
+        }
+</pre>
+
+<p>Unless you configure things differently, all log output will be written
+to System.err.  Therefore, you really will want to review the remainder of
+this page in order to understand how to configure logging for your
+application.</p>
+
+
+<h3>Configuring the Commons Logging Package</h3>
+
+
+<h4>Choosing a <code>LogFactory</code> Implementation</h4>
+
+<p>From an application perspective, the first requirement is to retrieve an
+object reference to the <code>LogFactory</code> instance that will be used
+to create <code><a href="Log.html">Log</a></code> instances for this
+application.  This is normally accomplished by calling the static
+<code>getFactory()</code> method.  This method implements the following
+discovery algorithm to select the name of the <code>LogFactory</code>
+implementation class this application wants to use:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>Check for a system property named
+   <code>org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory</code>.</li>
+<li>Use the JDK 1.3 JAR Services Discovery mechanism (see
+    <a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/jar/jar.html">
+    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/jar/jar.html</a> for
+    more information) to look for a resource named
+    <code>META-INF/services/org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory</code>
+    whose first line is assumed to contain the desired class name.</li>
+<li>Look for a properties file named <code>commons-logging.properties</code>
+    visible in the application class path, with a property named
+    <code>org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory</code> defining the
+    desired implementation class name.</li>
+<li>Fall back to a default implementation, which is described
+    further below.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>If a <code>commons-logging.properties</code> file is found, all of the
+properties defined there are also used to set configuration attributes on
+the instantiated <code>LogFactory</code> instance.</p>
+
+<p>Once an implementation class name is selected, the corresponding class is
+loaded from the current Thread context class loader (if there is one), or
+from the class loader that loaded the <code>LogFactory</code> class itself
+otherwise.  This allows a copy of <code>commons-logging.jar</code> to be
+shared in a multiple class loader environment (such as a servlet container),
+but still allow each web application to provide its own <code>LogFactory</code>
+implementation, if it so desires.  An instance of this class will then be
+created, and cached per class loader.
+
+
+<h4>The Default <code>LogFactory</code> Implementation</h4>
+
+<p>The Logging Package APIs include a default <code>LogFactory</code>
+implementation class (<a href="impl/LogFactoryImpl.html">
+org.apache.commons.logging.impl.LogFactoryImpl</a>) that is selected if no
+other implementation class name can be discovered.  Its primary purpose is
+to create (as necessary) and return <a href="Log.html">Log</a> instances
+in response to calls to the <code>getInstance()</code> method.  The default
+implementation uses the following rules:</p>
+<ul>
+<li>At most one <code>Log</code> instance of the same name will be created.
+    Subsequent <code>getInstance()</code> calls to the same
+    <code>LogFactory</code> instance, with the same name or <code>Class</code>
+    parameter, will return the same <code>Log</code> instance.</li>
+<li>When a new <code>Log</code> instance must be created, the default
+    <code>LogFactory</code> implementation uses the following discovery
+    process:
+    <ul>
+    <li>Look for a configuration attribute of this factory named
+        <code>org.apache.commons.logging.Log</code> (for backwards
+        compatibility to pre-1.0 versions of this API, an attribute
+        <code>org.apache.commons.logging.log</code> is also consulted).</li>
+    <li>Look for a system property named
+        <code>org.apache.commons.logging.Log</code> (for backwards
+        compatibility to pre-1.0 versions of this API, a system property
+        <code>org.apache.commons.logging.log</code> is also consulted).</li>
+    <li>If the Log4J logging system is available in the application
+        class path, use the corresponding wrapper class
+        (<a href="impl/Log4JLogger.html">Log4JLogger</a>).</li>
+    <li>If the application is executing on a JDK 1.4 system, use
+        the corresponding wrapper class
+        (<a href="impl/Jdk14Logger.html">Jdk14Logger</a>).</li>
+    <li>Fall back to the default simple logging implementation
+        (<a href="impl/SimpleLog.html">SimpleLog</a>).</li>
+    </ul></li>
+<li>Load the class of the specified name from the thread context class
+    loader (if any), or from the class loader that loaded the
+    <code>LogFactory</code> class otherwise.</li>
+<li>Instantiate an instance of the selected <code>Log</code>
+    implementation class, passing the specified name as the single
+    argument to its constructor.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>See the <a href="impl/SimpleLog.html">SimpleLog</a> JavaDocs for detailed
+configuration information for this default implementation.</p>
+
+
+<h4>Configuring the Underlying Logging System</h4>
+
+<p>The basic principle is that the user is totally responsible for the
+configuration of the underlying logging system.
+Commons-logging should not change the existing configuration.</p>
+
+<p>Each individual <a href="Log.html">Log</a> implementation may
+support its own configuration properties.  These will be documented in the
+class descriptions for the corresponding implementation class.</p>
+
+<p>Finally, some <code>Log</code> implementations (such as the one for Log4J)
+require an external configuration file for the entire logging environment.
+This file should be prepared in a manner that is specific to the actual logging
+technology being used.</p>
+
+
+<h3>Using the Logging Package APIs</h3>
+
+<p>Use of the Logging Package APIs, from the perspective of an application
+component, consists of the following steps:</p>
+<ol>
+<li>Acquire a reference to an instance of
+    <a href="Log.html">org.apache.commons.logging.Log</a>, by calling the
+    factory method
+    <a href="LogFactory.html#getInstance(java.lang.String)">
+    LogFactory.getInstance(String name)</a>.  Your application can contain
+    references to multiple loggers that are used for different
+    purposes.  A typical scenario for a server application is to have each
+    major component of the server use its own Log instance.</li>
+<li>Cause messages to be logged (if the corresponding detail level is enabled)
+    by calling appropriate methods (<code>trace()</code>, <code>debug()</code>,
+    <code>info()</code>, <code>warn()</code>, <code>error</code>, and
+    <code>fatal()</code>).</li>
+</ol>
+
+<p>For convenience, <code>LogFactory</code> also offers a static method
+<code>getLog()</code> that combines the typical two-step pattern:</p>
+<pre>
+  Log log = LogFactory.getFactory().getInstance(Foo.class);
+</pre>
+<p>into a single method call:</p>
+<pre>
+  Log log = LogFactory.getLog(Foo.class);
+</pre>
+
+<p>For example, you might use the following technique to initialize and
+use a <a href="Log.html">Log</a> instance in an application component:</p>
+<pre>
+import org.apache.commons.logging.Log;
+import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;
+
+public class MyComponent {
+
+  protected Log log =
+    LogFactory.getLog(MyComponent.class);
+
+  // Called once at startup time
+  public void start() {
+    ...
+    log.info("MyComponent started");
+    ...
+  }
+
+  // Called once at shutdown time
+  public void stop() {
+    ...
+    log.info("MyComponent stopped");
+    ...
+  }
+
+  // Called repeatedly to process a particular argument value
+  // which you want logged if debugging is enabled
+  public void process(String value) {
+    ...
+    // Do the string concatenation only if logging is enabled
+    if (log.isDebugEnabled())
+      log.debug("MyComponent processing " + value);
+    ...
+  }
+
+}
+</pre>
+

+/**
+ * An entity that can be sent or received with an HTTP message.
+ * Entities can be found in some
+ * {@link HttpEntityEnclosingRequest requests} and in
+ * {@link HttpResponse responses}, where they are optional.
+ * <p>
+ * In some places, the JavaDoc distinguishes three kinds of entities,
+ * depending on where their {@link #getContent content} originates:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li><b>streamed</b>: The content is received from a stream, or
+ *     generated on the fly. In particular, this category includes
+ *     entities being received from a {@link HttpConnection connection}.
+ *     {@link #isStreaming Streamed} entities are generally not
+ *      {@link #isRepeatable repeatable}.
+ *     </li>
+ * <li><b>self-contained</b>: The content is in memory or obtained by
+ *     means that are independent from a connection or other entity.
+ *     Self-contained entities are generally {@link #isRepeatable repeatable}.
+ *     </li>
+ * <li><b>wrapping</b>: The content is obtained from another entity.
+ *     </li>
+ * </ul>
+ * This distinction is important for connection management with incoming
+ * entities. For entities that are created by an application and only sent
+ * using the HTTP components framework, the difference between streamed
+ * and self-contained is of little importance. In that case, it is suggested
+ * to consider non-repeatable entities as streamed, and those that are
+ * repeatable (without a huge effort) as self-contained.

+<body>
+The client-side connection management and handling API
+at the heart of what is referred to as <i>HttpConn</i>.
+This component provides interfaces and implementations for
+opening and managing connections.
+
+<p>
+The lowest layer of connection handling is comprised of
+{@link org.apache.http.conn.OperatedClientConnection OperatedClientConnection}
+and
+{@link org.apache.http.conn.ClientConnectionOperator ClientConnectionOperator}.
+The connection interface extends the core
+{@link org.apache.http.HttpClientConnection HttpClientConnection}
+by operations to set and update a socket.
+An operator encapsulates the logic to open and layer sockets,
+typically using a {@link org.apache.http.conn.scheme.SocketFactory SocketFactory}.
+The socket factory for a protocol
+{@link org.apache.http.conn.scheme.Scheme Scheme}
+such as "http" or "https" can be looked up in a
+{@link org.apache.http.conn.scheme.SchemeRegistry SchemeRegistry}.
+Applications without a need for sophisticated connection management
+can use this layer directly.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+On top of that lies the connection management layer. A
+{@link org.apache.http.conn.ClientConnectionManager ClientConnectionManager}
+internally manages operated connections, but hands out instances of
+{@link org.apache.http.conn.ManagedClientConnection ManagedClientConnection}.
+This interface abstracts from the underlying socket operations and
+provides convenient methods for opening and updating sockets in order
+to establish a {@link org.apache.http.conn.routing.HttpRoute route}.
+The operator is encapsulated by the connection manager and called
+automatically.
+
+<br/>
+
+Connections obtained from a manager have to be returned after use.
+This can be {@link org.apache.http.conn.ConnectionReleaseTrigger triggered}
+on various levels, either by releasing the
+{@link org.apache.http.conn.ManagedClientConnection
+       connection}
+directly, or by calling a method on an
+{@link org.apache.http.conn.BasicManagedEntity entity}
+received from the connection, or by closing the
+{@link org.apache.http.conn.EofSensorInputStream stream}
+from which that entity is being read.
+
+Connection managers will try to keep returned connections alive in
+order to re-use them for subsequent requests along the same route.
+The managed connection interface and all triggers for connection release
+provide methods to enable or disable this behavior.
+</p>

+The client-side route representation and tracking API, part of <i>HttpConn</i>.
+
+<p>
+An {@link org.apache.http.conn.routing.HttpRoute HttpRoute}
+is the path along which a request has to be sent to the server.
+The route starts at a local network address and may pass
+through one or more proxies before reaching the target.
+Routes through proxies can be tunnelled, and a layered protocol (TLS/SSL)
+might be put on top of the tunnel.
+The {@link org.apache.http.conn.routing.RouteTracker RouteTracker}
+helps in tracking the steps for establishing a route, while an
+{@link org.apache.http.conn.routing.HttpRouteDirector HttpRouteDirector}
+determines the next step to take.
+</p>
+
+
+<p>
+The {@link org.apache.http.conn.routing.HttpRoutePlanner HttpRoutePlanner}
+is responsible for determining a route to a given target host.
+Implementations must know about proxies to use, and about exemptions
+for hosts that should be contacted directly without a proxy.

+
+                Parses a X.500 distinguished name for the value of the
+                "Common Name" field.  This is done a bit sloppy right
+                 now and should probably be done a bit more according to
+                <code>RFC 2253</code>.
+
+           I've noticed that toString() seems to do a better job than
+           getName() on these X500Principal objects, so I'm hoping that
+           addresses Sebastian's concern.
+
+           For example, getName() gives me this:
+           1.2.840.113549.1.9.1=#16166a756c6975736461766965734063756362632e636f6d
+
+           whereas toString() gives me this:
+           EMAILADDRESS=juliusdavies@cucbc.com
+
+           Looks like toString() even works with non-ascii domain names!
+           I tested it with "&#x82b1;&#x5b50;.co.jp" and it worked fine.

+ * Layered socket factory for TLS/SSL connections, based on JSSE.
+ *.
+ * <p>
+ * SSLSocketFactory can be used to validate the identity of the HTTPS 
+ * server against a list of trusted certificates and to authenticate to
+ * the HTTPS server using a private key. 
+ * </p>
+ * 
+ * <p>
+ * SSLSocketFactory will enable server authentication when supplied with
+ * a {@link KeyStore truststore} file containg one or several trusted
+ * certificates. The client secure socket will reject the connection during
+ * the SSL session handshake if the target HTTPS server attempts to
+ * authenticate itself with a non-trusted certificate.
+ * </p>
+ * 
+ * <p>
+ * Use JDK keytool utility to import a trusted certificate and generate a truststore file:    
+ *    <pre>
+ *     keytool -import -alias "my server cert" -file server.crt -keystore my.truststore
+ *    </pre>
+ * </p>
+ * 
+ * <p>
+ * SSLSocketFactory will enable client authentication when supplied with
+ * a {@link KeyStore keystore} file containg a private key/public certificate
+ * pair. The client secure socket will use the private key to authenticate
+ * itself to the target HTTPS server during the SSL session handshake if
+ * requested to do so by the server.
+ * The target HTTPS server will in its turn verify the certificate presented
+ * by the client in order to establish client's authenticity
+ * </p>
+ * 
+ * <p>
+ * Use the following sequence of actions to generate a keystore file
+ * </p>
+ *   <ul>
+ *     <li>
+ *      <p>
+ *      Use JDK keytool utility to generate a new key
+ *      <pre>keytool -genkey -v -alias "my client key" -validity 365 -keystore my.keystore</pre>
+ *      For simplicity use the same password for the key as that of the keystore
+ *      </p>
+ *     </li>
+ *     <li>
+ *      <p>
+ *      Issue a certificate signing request (CSR)
+ *      <pre>keytool -certreq -alias "my client key" -file mycertreq.csr -keystore my.keystore</pre>
+ *     </p>
+ *     </li>
+ *     <li>
+ *      <p>
+ *      Send the certificate request to the trusted Certificate Authority for signature. 
+ *      One may choose to act as her own CA and sign the certificate request using a PKI 
+ *      tool, such as OpenSSL.
+ *      </p>
+ *     </li>
+ *     <li>
+ *      <p>
+ *       Import the trusted CA root certificate
+ *       <pre>keytool -import -alias "my trusted ca" -file caroot.crt -keystore my.keystore</pre>

+Representations for HTTP message entities.
+
+An {@link org.apache.http.HttpEntity entity} is the optional content of a
+{@link org.apache.http.HttpMessage message}.
+You'll find a basic selection of entity implementations here.
+If you need to send an entity, you can provide it for example as a
+{@link org.apache.http.entity.ByteArrayEntity byte array},
+{@link org.apache.http.entity.StringEntity string},
+{@link org.apache.http.entity.FileEntity file}, or through an arbitrary
+{@link org.apache.http.entity.InputStreamEntity input stream}.
+If you receive a message with an entity, you typically get that as a
+{@link org.apache.http.entity.BasicHttpEntity basic} entity.
+Entity implementations can be
+{@link org.apache.http.entity.HttpEntityWrapper wrapped},
+for example to
+{@link org.apache.http.entity.BufferedHttpEntity buffer}
+the content in memory.

+ * Default implementation of a strategy deciding about connection re-use.
+ * The default implementation first checks some basics, for example
+ * whether the connection is still open or whether the end of the
+ * request entity can be determined without closing the connection.
+ * If these checks pass, the tokens in the "Connection" header will
+ * be examined. In the absence of a "Connection" header, the
+ * non-standard but commonly used "Proxy-Connection" header takes
+ * it's role. A token "close" indicates that the connection cannot
+ * be reused. If there is no such token, a token "keep-alive" indicates
+ * that the connection should be re-used. If neither token is found,
+ * or if there are no "Connection" headers, the default policy for
+ * the HTTP version is applied. Since HTTP/1.1, connections are re-used
+ * by default. Up until HTTP/1.0, connections are not re-used by default.

+/**
+ * A connection pool that maintains connections by route.
+ * This class is derived from <code>MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager</code>
+ * in HttpClient 3.x, see there for original authors. It implements the same
+ * algorithm for connection re-use and connection-per-host enforcement:
+ * <ul>
+ * <li>connections are re-used only for the exact same route</li>
+ * <li>connection limits are enforced per route rather than per host</li>
+ * </ul>
+ * Note that access to the pool datastructures is synchronized via the
+ * {@link AbstractConnPool#poolLock poolLock} in the base class,
+ * not via <code>synchronized</code> methods.

+
+The implementation of a thread-safe client connection manager.
+
+<center>
+<img src="doc-files/tsccm-structure.png" alt="Relation Diagram"/>
+</center>
+
+<p>
+The implementation is structured into three areas, as illustrated
+by the diagram above.
+Facing the application is the <i>Manager</i> (green), which internally
+maintains a <i>Pool</i> (yellow) of connections and waiting threads.
+Both Manager and Pool rely on <i>Operations</i> (cyan) to provide the
+actual connections.
+</p>
+<p>
+In order to allow connection garbage collection, it is
+imperative that hard object references between the areas are
+restricted to the relations indicated by arrows in the diagram:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li>Applications reference only the Manager objects.</li>
+<li>Manager objects reference Pool objects, but not vice versa.</li>
+<li>Operations objects do not reference either Manager or Pool objects.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+The following table shows a selection of classes and interfaces,
+and their assignment to the three areas.
+</p>

+{@link org.apache.http.conn.OperatedClientConnection}
+</td>
+</tr>
+
+</table>
+</center>
+
+<p>
+The Manager area has implementations for the connection management
+interfaces {@link org.apache.http.conn.ClientConnectionManager}
+and {@link org.apache.http.conn.ManagedClientConnection}.
+The latter is an adapter from managed to operated connections, based on a
+{@link org.apache.http.impl.conn.tsccm.BasicPoolEntry}.
+<br/>
+The Pool area shows an abstract pool class
+{@link org.apache.http.impl.conn.tsccm.AbstractConnPool}
+and a concrete implementation
+{@link org.apache.http.impl.conn.tsccm.ConnPoolByRoute}
+which uses the same basic algorithm as the
+<code>MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager</code>
+in HttpClient 3.x.
+A pool contains instances of
+{@link org.apache.http.impl.conn.tsccm.BasicPoolEntry}.
+Most other classes in this package also belong to the Pool area.
+<br/>
+In the Operations area, you will find only the interfaces for
+operated connections as defined in the org.apache.http.conn package.
+The connection manager will work with all correct implementations
+of these interfaces. This package therefore does not define anything
+specific to the Operations area.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+As you have surely noticed, the
+{@link org.apache.http.impl.conn.tsccm.BasicPoolEntry}
+appears in both the Manager and Pool areas.
+This is where things get tricky for connection garbage collection.
+<br/>
+A connection pool may start a background thread to implement cleanup.
+In that case, the connection pool will not be garbage collected until
+it is shut down, since the background thread keeps a hard reference
+to the pool. The pool itself keeps hard references to the pooled entries,
+which in turn reference idle connections. Neither of these is subject
+to garbage collection.
+Only the shutdown of the pool will stop the background thread,
+thereby enabling garbage collection of the pool objects.
+<br/>
+A pool entry that is passed to an application by means of a connection
+adapter will move from the Pool area to the Manager area. When the
+connection is released by the application, the manager returns the
+entry back to the pool. With that step, the pool entry moves from
+the Manager area back to the Pool area.
+While the entry is in the Manager area, the pool MUST NOT keep a
+hard reference to it.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The purpose of connection garbage collection is to detect when an
+application fails to return a connection. In order to achieve this,
+the only hard reference to the pool entry in the Manager area is
+in the connection wrapper. The manager will not keep a hard reference
+to the connection wrapper either, since that wrapper is effectively
+moving to the Application area.
+If the application drops it's reference to the connection wrapper,
+that wrapper will be garbage collected, and with it the pool entry.
+<br/>
+In order to detect garbage collection of pool entries handed out
+to the application, the pool keeps a <i>weak reference</i> to the
+entry. Instances of
+{@link org.apache.http.impl.conn.tsccm.BasicPoolEntryRef}
+combine the weak reference with information about the route for
+which the pool entry was allocated. If one of these entry references
+becomes stale, the pool can accommodate for the lost connection.
+This is triggered either by a background thread waiting for the
+references to be queued by the garbage collector, or by the
+application calling a {@link
+    org.apache.http.conn.ClientConnectionManager#closeIdleConnections cleanup}
+method of the connection manager.
+<br/>
+Basically the same trick is used for detecting garbage collection
+of the connection manager itself. The pool keeps a weak reference
+to the connection manager that created it. However, this will work
+only if there is a background thread to detect when that reference
+is queued by the garbage collector. Otherwise, a finalizer of the
+connection manager will shut down the pool and release it's resources.

+ * The lax implementation of the content length strategy.

+ * <a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec3.html#sec4.4">Section 4.4</a>, 
+ * <a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec3.html#sec3.6">Section 3.6</a>, 
+ * <a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.41">Section 14.41</a>
+ * and <a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec3.html#sec14.13">Section 14.13</a>
+ * of <a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616.txt">RFC 2616</a>, but is lenient 
+ * about unsupported transfer codecs and malformed content-length headers.
+ * </p>
+ * <h>4.4 Message Length</h>
+ * <p>
+ * The transfer-length of a message is the length of the message-body as it appears in the 
+ * message; that is, after any transfer-codings have been applied. When a message-body is 
+ * included with a message, the transfer-length of that body is determined by one of the 
+ * following (in order of precedence):
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * 1.Any response message which "MUST NOT" include a message-body (such as the 1xx, 204, 
+ * and 304 responses and any response to a HEAD request) is always terminated by the first 
+ * empty line after the header fields, regardless of the entity-header fields present in the 
+ * message.
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * 2.If a Transfer-Encoding header field (section 14.41) is present and has any value other 
+ * than "identity", then the transfer-length is defined by use of the "chunked" transfer-
+ * coding (section 3.6), unless the message is terminated by closing the connection.
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * 3.If a Content-Length header field (section 14.13) is present, its decimal value in 
+ * OCTETs represents both the entity-length and the transfer-length. The Content-Length 
+ * header field MUST NOT be sent if these two lengths are different (i.e., if a 
+ * Transfer-Encoding
+ * </p>
+ * <pre>
+ *    header field is present). If a message is received with both a
+ *    Transfer-Encoding header field and a Content-Length header field,
+ *    the latter MUST be ignored.
+ * </pre>
+ * <p>
+ * 4.If the message uses the media type "multipart/byteranges", and the ransfer-length is not 
+ * otherwise specified, then this self- elimiting media type defines the transfer-length. 
+ * This media type UST NOT be used unless the sender knows that the recipient can arse it; the 
+ * presence in a request of a Range header with ultiple byte- range specifiers from a 1.1 
+ * client implies that the lient can parse multipart/byteranges responses.
+ * </p>
+ * <pre>
+ *     A range header might be forwarded by a 1.0 proxy that does not
+ *     understand multipart/byteranges; in this case the server MUST
+ *     delimit the message using methods defined in items 1,3 or 5 of
+ *     this section.
+ * </pre>
+ * <p>
+ * 5.By the server closing the connection. (Closing the connection cannot be used to indicate 
+ * the end of a request body, since that would leave no possibility for the server to send back 
+ * a response.)
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * For compatibility with HTTP/1.0 applications, HTTP/1.1 requests containing a message-body 
+ * MUST include a valid Content-Length header field unless the server is known to be HTTP/1.1 
+ * compliant. If a request contains a message-body and a Content-Length is not given, the 
+ * server SHOULD respond with 400 (bad request) if it cannot determine the length of the 
+ * message, or with 411 (length required) if it wishes to insist on receiving a valid 
+ * Content-Length.
+ * </p>
+ * <p>All HTTP/1.1 applications that receive entities MUST accept the "chunked" transfer-coding 
+ * (section 3.6), thus allowing this mechanism to be used for messages when the message 
+ * length cannot be determined in advance. 
+ * </p>
+ * <h>3.6 Transfer Codings</h>
+ * <p>
+ * Transfer-coding values are used to indicate an encoding transformation that 
+ * has been, can be, or may need to be applied to an entity-body in order to ensure 
+ * "safe transport" through the network. This differs from a content coding in that 
+ * the transfer-coding is a property of the message, not of the original entity.
+ * </p>
+ * <pre>
+ * transfer-coding         = "chunked" | transfer-extension
+ * transfer-extension      = token *( ";" parameter )
+ * </pre>
+ * <p>
+ * Parameters are in the form of attribute/value pairs.
+ * </p>
+ * <pre>
+ * parameter               = attribute "=" value
+ * attribute               = token

+/**
+ * The strict implementation of the content length strategy.
+ * <p>
+ * This entity generator comforms to the entity transfer rules outlined in the 
+ * <a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec3.html#sec4.4">Section 4.4</a>,

+ * <a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec14.html#sec14.41">Section 14.41</a>
+ * and <a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec3.html#sec14.13">Section 14.13</a>
+ * of <a href="http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616.txt">RFC 2616</a>
+ * </p>
+ * <h>4.4 Message Length</h>
+ * <p>
+ * The transfer-length of a message is the length of the message-body as it appears in the 
+ * message; that is, after any transfer-codings have been applied. When a message-body is 
+ * included with a message, the transfer-length of that body is determined by one of the 
+ * following (in order of precedence):
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * 1.Any response message which "MUST NOT" include a message-body (such as the 1xx, 204, 
+ * and 304 responses and any response to a HEAD request) is always terminated by the first 
+ * empty line after the header fields, regardless of the entity-header fields present in the 
+ * message.
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * 2.If a Transfer-Encoding header field (section 14.41) is present and has any value other 
+ * than "identity", then the transfer-length is defined by use of the "chunked" transfer-
+ * coding (section 3.6), unless the message is terminated by closing the connection.
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * 3.If a Content-Length header field (section 14.13) is present, its decimal value in 
+ * OCTETs represents both the entity-length and the transfer-length. The Content-Length 
+ * header field MUST NOT be sent if these two lengths are different (i.e., if a 
+ * Transfer-Encoding
+ * </p>
+ * <pre>
+ *    header field is present). If a message is received with both a
+ *    Transfer-Encoding header field and a Content-Length header field,
+ *    the latter MUST be ignored.
+ * </pre>
+ * <p>
+ * 4.If the message uses the media type "multipart/byteranges", and the ransfer-length is not 
+ * otherwise specified, then this self- elimiting media type defines the transfer-length. 
+ * This media type UST NOT be used unless the sender knows that the recipient can arse it; the 
+ * presence in a request of a Range header with ultiple byte- range specifiers from a 1.1 
+ * client implies that the lient can parse multipart/byteranges responses.
+ * </p>
+ * <pre>
+ *     A range header might be forwarded by a 1.0 proxy that does not
+ *     understand multipart/byteranges; in this case the server MUST
+ *     delimit the message using methods defined in items 1,3 or 5 of
+ *     this section.
+ * </pre>
+ * <p>
+ * 5.By the server closing the connection. (Closing the connection cannot be used to indicate 
+ * the end of a request body, since that would leave no possibility for the server to send back 
+ * a response.)
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * For compatibility with HTTP/1.0 applications, HTTP/1.1 requests containing a message-body 
+ * MUST include a valid Content-Length header field unless the server is known to be HTTP/1.1 
+ * compliant. If a request contains a message-body and a Content-Length is not given, the 
+ * server SHOULD respond with 400 (bad request) if it cannot determine the length of the 
+ * message, or with 411 (length required) if it wishes to insist on receiving a valid 
+ * Content-Length.
+ * </p>
+ * <p>All HTTP/1.1 applications that receive entities MUST accept the "chunked" transfer-coding 
+ * (section 3.6), thus allowing this mechanism to be used for messages when the message 
+ * length cannot be determined in advance. 
+ * </p>
+ * <h>3.6 Transfer Codings</h>
+ * <p>
+ * Transfer-coding values are used to indicate an encoding transformation that 
+ * has been, can be, or may need to be applied to an entity-body in order to ensure 
+ * "safe transport" through the network. This differs from a content coding in that 
+ * the transfer-coding is a property of the message, not of the original entity.
+ * </p>
+ * <pre>
+ * transfer-coding         = "chunked" | transfer-extension
+ * transfer-extension      = token *( ";" parameter )
+ * </pre>
+ * <p>
+ * Parameters are in the form of attribute/value pairs.
+ * </p>
+ * <pre>
+ * parameter               = attribute "=" value
+ * attribute               = token
+ * value                   = token | quoted-string
+ * </pre>
+ * <p>
+ * All transfer-coding values are case-insensitive. HTTP/1.1 uses transfer-coding values in 
+ * the TE header field (section 14.39) and in the Transfer-Encoding header field (section 14.41).
+ * </p>
+ * <p>
+ * Whenever a transfer-coding is applied to a message-body, the set of transfer-codings MUST 
+ * include "chunked", unless the message is terminated by closing the connection. When the 
+ * "chunked" transfer-coding is used, it MUST be the last transfer-coding applied to the 
+ * message-body. The "chunked" transfer-coding MUST NOT be applied more than once to a 
+ * message-body. These rules allow the recipient to determine the transfer-length of the 
+ * message (section 4.4).
+ * </p>
+ * <h>14.41 Transfer-Encoding</h>
+ * <p>
+ * The Transfer-Encoding general-header field indicates what (if any) type of transformation has 
+ * been applied to the message body in order to safely transfer it between the sender and the 
+ * recipient. This differs from the content-coding in that the transfer-coding is a property of 
+ * the message, not of the entity.
+ * </p>
+ * <pre>
+ *   Transfer-Encoding       = "Transfer-Encoding" ":" 1#transfer-coding
+ * </pre>
+ * <p>
+ * If multiple encodings have been applied to an entity, the transfer- codings MUST be listed in 
+ * the order in which they were applied. Additional information about the encoding parameters 
+ * MAY be provided by other entity-header fields not defined by this specification.
+ * </p> 
+ * <h>14.13 Content-Length</h>
+ * <p>
+ * The Content-Length entity-header field indicates the size of the entity-body, in decimal 
+ * number of OCTETs, sent to the recipient or, in the case of the HEAD method, the size of 
+ * the entity-body that would have been sent had the request been a GET.
+ * </p>
+ * <pre>
+ *   Content-Length    = "Content-Length" ":" 1*DIGIT
+ * </pre>
+ * <p>
+ * Applications SHOULD use this field to indicate the transfer-length of the message-body, 
+ * unless this is prohibited by the rules in section 4.4.

+/**
+ * Stream that cuts off after a specified number of bytes.
+ * Note that this class NEVER closes the underlying stream, even when close
+ * gets called.  Instead, it will read until the "end" of its chunking on
+ * close, which allows for the seamless execution of subsequent HTTP 1.1
+ * requests, while not requiring the client to remember to read the entire
+ * contents of the response.
+ *
+ * <p>Implementation note: Choices abound. One approach would pass
+ * through the {@link InputStream#mark} and {@link InputStream#reset} calls to
+ * the underlying stream.  That's tricky, though, because you then have to
+ * start duplicating the work of keeping track of how much a reset rewinds.
+ * Further, you have to watch out for the "readLimit", and since the semantics
+ * for the readLimit leave room for differing implementations, you might get
+ * into a lot of trouble.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>Alternatively, you could make this class extend
+ * {@link java.io.BufferedInputStream}
+ * and then use the protected members of that class to avoid duplicated effort.
+ * That solution has the side effect of adding yet another possible layer of
+ * buffering.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>Then, there is the simple choice, which this takes - simply don't
+ * support {@link InputStream#mark} and {@link InputStream#reset}.  That choice
+ * has the added benefit of keeping this class very simple.</p>

+The transport layer abstraction of the HTTP components.

+This layer is used to transfer messages over connections.
+Connections are typically based on sockets: plain or secure,

+whatever else you might think of.
+However, opening connections is not within the responsibility

+HTTP protocol execution framework.
+
+Apart from simply sending and receiving messages, there are a lot
+of things to consider when communicating with HTTP. Many details
+such as transport encodings or connection management are handled
+by setting up or interpreting
+{@link org.apache.http.Header headers} in the messages.
+In order to relieve applications from the responsibility of
+implementing these nitty-gritty details of the protocol,
+HTTP components provides an execution framework that sets up
+some of the headers before sending a message, and interprets
+headers when a message has been received.
+<br/>
+An HTTP {@link org.apache.http.protocol.HttpProcessor processor}
+typically keeps lists of so-called interceptors that will be executed
+before a message is sent and after it has been received.
+An application should initialize a processor, set up the lists
+with the required and desired processors, and then communicate
+through that processor. There are four kinds of interceptors,
+depending on whether they act on
+{@link org.apache.http.HttpRequestInterceptor requests} or
+{@link org.apache.http.HttpResponseInterceptor responses},
+on the client or server side:
+
+<table border="1" cellpadding="5">
+<tr><th></th>
+    <th>Client</th>
+    <th>Server</th>
+</tr>
+<tr><th>Request</th>
+    <td>prepares headers before a request is sent</td>
+    <td>interprets headers when a request is received</td>
+</tr>
+<tr><th>Response</th>
+    <td>interprets headers when a response is received</td>
+    <td>prepares headers before a response is sent</td>
+</tr>
+</table>
+
+<p>
+{@link org.apache.http.protocol.HttpRequestExecutor HttpRequestExecutor}
+is a processor for the client side,
+{@link org.apache.http.protocol.HttpService HttpService}
+for the server side.
+On the client side, a {@link org.apache.http.protocol.HttpContext context}
+is used to tie together a request, the response to it, and other data
+that might be associated with the request execution. It is passed to
+the request executor whenever needed.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<font size="+1">
+<i>
+Information about required and recommended interceptors for the
+client side will be provided elsewhere. For the time being, please
+refer to the comments in the example applications or ask on
+one of the mailing lists.
+</i>
+</font>
+</p>
+
+<p>
+<b>Note:</b>
+If you want to develop a server-side application, we recommend that
+you implement your application as a servlet running in a servlet engine
+like <a href="http://tomcat.apache.org/">Tomcat</a> or full-blown
+JSEE container like <a href="http://geronimo.apache.org/">Geronimo</a>.
+If you prefer to implement a server-side application based on our
+{@link org.apache.http.protocol.HttpService HttpService}, we'll
+assume that you know what you're doing and that you don't need
+help in figuring out which interceptors need to be configured.
