Class HttpClientHelper

java.lang.Object
  org.kuali.rice.ksb.messaging.HttpClientHelper

public class HttpClientHelper
extends Object

Contains some utility methods for dealing with configuration of the Commons HttpClient library. Specifically, HttpClient parameters are typed, so we can't just pipe the String values from or configuration through. Instead we need to know the type of all the different HttpClient parameters and set the parameter accordingly.
