+Project Charter
+===============
+
+The following charter for Jakarta HttpComponents project was approved the Jakarta \
Project Management Committee (PMC) on Oct 31, 2005 +
+(0) Rationale
+
+The original Jakarta Commons HttpClient API has a number limitations that cannot be \
resolved without a significant architectural redesign. Moreover, Jakarta Commons \
HttpClient has been increasingly used in applications and environments it has not \
been specifically designed for. The existing monolithic design no longer adequately \
reflects the use patterns of HttpClient. HttpClient needs to be refactored into a \
toolset of simple, low level HTTP components suitable for building more specialized \
HTTP services. +
+(1) Project scope
+
+* Jakarta HttpComponents develops a toolset of low level components focused \
exclusively at the transport aspects of HTTP protocol. +
+* Jakarta HttpComponents will provide ONLY a toolset of low level generic transport \
APIs. In particular, server side application layer APIs WILL NOT be developed. +
+* Jakarta HttpComponents MUST be content agnostic. The project DOES NOT develop \
components intended to produce or consume content of HTTP messages. +
+* Jakarta HttpComponents continues the development of Jakarta HttpClient (formerly \
Jakarta Commons HttpClient ) based on the toolset of HTTP components. This tool \
focuses on the client side of HTTP. +
+* Jakarta HttpComponents is additional charged with the maintenance of the existing \
Jakarta Commons HttpClient component. +
+* Jakarta HttpComponents MAY develop application layer components (such as an HTTP \
connector, a lightweight server component, proxy components) as reference material to \
demonstrate the capabilities of the toolset. The said artifacts ARE NOT meant for \
production use and are not released as official Apache Jakarta products. +
+* Jakarta HttpComponents collaborates with other projects to develop specialized \
HTTP services for production use based on the toolset of HTTP components. +
+(2) Targeted specifications and standards
+
+* RFC1945 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.0
+* RFC2616 Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1
+* RFC2617 HTTP Authentication: Basic and Digest Access Authentication
+* RFC2109 HTTP State Management Mechanism -- Cookies
+* RFC2965 HTTP State Management Mechanism -- Cookie2
+* A standard for robot exclusion <http://www.robotstxt.org/wc/norobots-rfc.html> - \
robots.txt parser (<http://www.osjava.org/norbert/index.html> contribution requiring \
Software Grant) +
