[EsiGate-devel] [Release] Esigate 4.1

[Nicolas R. <nic...@gm...>]

Hi, 

The new Esigate 4.1 release is available from the website and Maven repositories. 

It contains some fixes on 
  - Url rewriting, especially when preserveHost is enabled,
  - Extensions when caching is disabled
  - Cookie management 
  - Http Caching (HttpClient)

It also contains some useful new features : 
  - Page encoding override   (via extension)
  - Mapping configuration in esigate.properties (BETA). Fell free to test this. Old behavior is still available and recommended in the 4.x line. 


Get it from :
http://www.esigate.org
