Disabling Apache Httpclient
Revision as of 15:42, 16 May 2019 by Slewis.composent.com (Talk | contribs)
The default filetransfer provider may be changed from httpclient45 to the older httpclient4 provider by setting the following system property upon eclipse (or other app) startup:
org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.excludeContributors=org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.httpclient45
For example, to set this property when starting Eclipse:
eclipse -vmargs -Dorg.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.excludeContributors=org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.httpclient45
This will disable the Apache HttpClient45 provider, and force using the apache httpclient 4 provider.
To disable both the httpclient45 and httpclient4 provider and used the JRE URLConnection provider:
org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.excludeContributors=org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.httpclient45,org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.httpclient4
In some proxy environments this will allow the downloads to succeed by using the URLConnection provider rather than the HttpClient4 provider.
