Dear developers,
I have commited a few improvements to RESTConfig as part of some work
I am doing for the IE.
Specifically:
- committed an Improved version of the IOUtils class from apache
commons for high-performance file upload
- factored out a few utility methods in its helper class
There are a few aspects that I would like to discuss a bit futher
which are short term goals:
- further improved management for uploaded file (temp directories
inside data, temp names for files, managing gzipped archives)
- managing correctly parallel changes to the geoserver catalog via REST
More long term ( I will open up a separate thread for these)
- transactional catalog (not related to rest only)
- consider using Atom Publishing Protocol to structure the RESTConfig
Feedback welcome.
Simone.

You mean, a copy of Apache code? Did you retain the copyright
headers? Did you need any change? If not, I usually prefer to
have a straight dependency on the jars instead of mixing licenses
in our code.

Hum, if you can open another thread for this one with some specific
points we can discuss, hard to speak about generic statements by mail, the above could open a 10 pages response if discussed properly 
Cheers

It's a subclass with more methods.
