[Webassembletool-users] Website Assembling Toolkit 2.3 released

[Francois-Xavier B. <fra...@ce...>]

New features in this release:
- Migrated to Apache HTTPClient 4.0
http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client/index.html
- CAS support is now a separate module
- Created AuthenticationHanler interface in order to plug any
authentication mechanism
- Migrated to nu.validator Html parser
- Support for preserveHost when forwarding a request (default to false)
- Refresh button hit by the user causes the cache to be revalidated as
well (Pragma:no-cache an Cache-control support)
- Html pages parsing algorithm was entirely rewritten

Warning: Starting from this version, in order to improve html parsing
performance, any tag must be closed. For example up to version 2.2 you
could use any of these expressions:
1) <!--$includeblock$provider$page$block$-->
2) <!--$includeblock$provider$page$block$-->This text is going to be
replaced<!--$endincludeblock$-->
Now, only the 2) is supported. If you forget the closing tag, the
reste of the page will be considered as the text to ignore and will
not appear in the final page.

Next steps :
- Complete HTTP cache implementation (RFC 2616)
- Support for inclusion of local resources (inside the webapp) or
cross context (inside the same servlet container)
- Full ESI support
- Cookie forwarding
- Migration of all the integration tests to maven cargo plugin and HttpUnit
- Find a new name for the project (no one can ever remember such a
complicated name!)
