Does httpclient 3.0 work with Slide from HEAD? Was: Re: patch for Slide Ant tasks and commons httpclient 3.0

Question for Slide developers or someone who knows...

a while ago we tested HttpClient 3.0 with Slide (HEAD) and it didn't  
work. Does it work now?

We are unfortunately forced to use HttpClient 3.0 so I really hope  
the answer is yes and I only have to rebuild our jar. (we use an  
older version from HEAD today)
