Using Cobalt HTTP Client in a non-Cobalt Project

Chintan Shah

I am interested in using the Cobalt HTTP client in a non-Cobalt project to get the caching benefits it provides. Are there instructions anywhere on what would be required to do this? Is there a way to configure it without requiring coherence?

Here is a sample Visual Studio project I put together to demonstrate using HTTPClient outside of Cobalt: [

As far as I'm aware, the Cobalt HttpClient doesn't have a dependency on Coherence. It seems that website uses two DLLs: Cobalt.Infrastructure.HttpClient.dll and Cobalt.Infrastructure.LocalCache.dll. If using these doesn't do the trick, there are other HttpClient libraries that can easily be used, and I'm sure that some of them provide caching capabilities.
