OpenID, OpenID4Java in an Android application

[Sean Sullivan]

Hello,

I was wondering if anybody is using the OpenID4Java library in an
Android application?

I examined the OpenID4Java source code and noticed that
ConsumerManager sends HTTP requests via
Jakarta Commons HttpClient 3.x

The Android 1.0 platform uses HttpClient 4 (not HttpClient 3.x). It
would be easier for Android developers
to use the OpenID4Java library if OpenID4Java were based on HttpClient
4.

I would be happy to modify OpenID4Java so that it runs with HttpClient
4. Thoughts?

I recently contributed similar changes to the OAuth Java library:

Sounds like a useful addition assuming it is optional.

I modified openid4java so that it uses HttpClient 4. My
modifications are available in the issue tracker:
