Apache MINA is a network application framework which helps users develop high performance and high scalability network applications easily. It provides an abstract - event-driven - asynchronous API over various transports such as TCP/IP and UDP/IP via Java NIO.
As my contribution was appreciated, i have been invited to join the MINA project team. I am now contributing on a regular basis to the Apache MINA project as a former member of the Apache Foundation.
Here's the release comment i made on the JIRA issue page explaining the features of this patch :
"Hi community,
This is a great day (althought i spent 3 hours in the strike this morning :( ...)
as i'm proud to announce after 4 months of work that
i'm releasing a proxy support connector for MINA 2.0-M1.
This release features :
HTTP proxy :
- Support for NTLM authentication
- Support for Digest authentication
- Transparent support for reconnection to a http proxy that does not support connection keep alive
