I’m going through the Jakarta HTTPClient package (used in LARM to retrieve web pages) and I don’t understand what function the HostConfiguration class performs.

a) It looks like it’s just a wrapper for a URI that adds proxy server information (so that when the HttpConnection class calls a URI, the HostConfiguration class adds the proxy information to the request). That seem right?

b) What’s up with the developer not providing a lick of documentation for HostConfiguration? Normal? Oversight? Unnecessary? 🙂
