[Accelutils-devel] ChannelFinder Service version 1.1.1 released

[Ralph L. <Ral...@gm...>]

Dear ChannelFinderFriends,

CF Web Service 1.1.1 has been released.

Changes:

  * Fix a resource (i.e. memory) leak that could lead to Glassfish
    crashing under certain circumstances. (See CHANNELFINDER-23 in JIRA [1])
  * Improve query performance by adding an index to the main value table
    in the MySQL database scheme.
  * Sort out issues with http vs. http connections, and newer versions
    of httplib2 not following redirections for other than GET methods.


Notes:

  * For existing databases, there is an update script in the
    distribution tar that adds the new index to the database scheme. The
    old scheme will still work, but will not have the improved query
    performance.
  * As RFC2616 [2] explicitly does not allow clients to follow 302
    redirects for other methods than GET without user interaction, CF
    clients should use the proper URLs for directory queries (both http
    and https work) and manipulation (only https works). Relying on
    Glassfish redirecting http queries to the appropriate https URL
    might not work as expected.


Enjoy!
Ralph
