Migration Guide

From 1.8 to 1.9

AsyncHttpClient v1.9 is a preview of v2, so it comes with some breaking changes.

Target JDK7, drop support for JDK5 and JDK6
Rename many AsyncHttpClientConfig parameters:
- maxTotalConnections becomes maxConnections
- maxConnectionPerHost becomes maxConnectionsPerHost
- connectionTimeOutInMs becomes connectTimeout
- webSocketIdleTimeoutInMs becomes webSocketTimeout
- idleConnectionInPoolTimeoutInMs becomes pooledConnectionIdleTimeout
- idleConnectionTimeoutInMs becomes readTimeout
- requestTimeoutInMs becomes requestTimeout
- maxConnectionLifeTimeInMs becomes connectionTTL
- redirectEnabled becomes followRedirect
- allowPoolingConnection becomes allowPoolingConnections
- allowSslConnectionPool becomes allowPoolingSslConnections
- connectionTimeout becomes connectTimeout
- compressionEnabled becomes compressionEnforced. Default false, so AHC only honors user defined Accept-Encoding.
- requestCompressionLevel was dropped, as it wasn't working
- SSLEngineFactory was moved to Netty config as only Netty honors it
- useRawUrl becomes disableUrlEncodingForBoundedRequests, as it's only honored by bound requests
- getAllowPoolingConnection becomes isAllowPoolingConnection
Drop PerRequestConfig. requestTimeOut and proxy can now be directly set on the request.
Drop java.net.URI in favor of own com.ning.http.client.uri.Uri. You can use toJavaNetURI to convert.
Drop Proxy.getURI in favor of getUrl
Drop deprecated methods: Request and RequestBuilderBase's getReqType in favor of getMethod, Request.getLength in favor of getContentLength
Drop deprecated RealmBuilder.getDomain in favor of getNtlmDomain
Rename xxxParameter (add, set, get...) into xxxFormParam
Rename xxxQueryParameter (add, set, get...) into xxxQueryParam
Merge boolean Request.isRedirectEnabled and boolean isRedirectOverrideSet are merged into Boolean isRedirectEnabled
Remove url parameter from SignatureCalculator.calculateAndAddSignature, as it can be fetched on the request parameter
Rename com.ning.http.client.websocket package into com.ning.http.client.ws
WebSocket Listeners now have to implement proper interfaces to be notified or fragment events: WebSocketByteFragmentListener and WebSocketTextFragmentListener
Rename WebSocket's sendTextMessage into sendMessage and streamText into stream
Rename NettyAsyncHttpProviderConfig's handshakeTimeoutInMillis into handshakeTimeout
Netty provider now creates SslEngines instances with proper hoststring and port.
Parts, Realm and ProxyServer now take a java.nio.Charset instead of a String charset name
New AsyncHandlerExtensions methods:
- onOpenConnection,
- onConnectionOpen,
- onPoolConnection,
- onConnectionPooled,
- onSendRequest,
- onDnsResolved,
- onSslHandshakeCompleted
Rename FluentCaseInsensitiveStringsMap and FluentStringsMap replace into replaceWith to not conflict with new JDK8 Map methods
execute no longer throws Exceptions, all of them are notified to the handler/future
