New org.restlet.ext.crypto extension

Hi all,

 

I’d like to let you know that I’ve refactored some Restlet code depending on javax.crypto.* packages into a new Restlet extension. HTTP digest authentication features have also moved there due to a dependency (S3, Azure, DIGEST).

 

The benefit is that we reduce the size of the Restlet core by removing those important but optional features (important for embedded Android applications for example). This will also facilitate the port to various editions, some not having the javax.crypto packages available, like GWT and maybe Java ME one day. End users building on top of Restlet core will have fewer surprises when moving their code from one edition to the other, which is an important goal for us moving forward.

 

Comments welcome!

 

Best regards,
Jerome Louvel
