HttpClient project has taken a very important step toward becoming
1501
a full-fledged Jakarta level project. From today, HttpClient is
1502
a separate project in Apache Bugzilla issue tracking system. It is no
1503
longer a component of the Commons project. Please use the following
1504
details when filing bug reports for 2.0 and 3.0 branches of HttpClient:

1534
Currently HttpClient project is debating whether we should continue using Bugzilla
1535
as an issue tracking system or migrate to JIRA.
1536
<a href="http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/">JIRA</a> is a newer, more flexible
1537
issue tracking system. However, <a href="http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/">
1538
JIRA</a> is not open-source software. If you have a strong opinion on this matter,
