best practices when developing a Gradle plugin are to use lazy types (ConfigurableFileCollection, Provider API, domain object containers) when defining configurable parts of a plugin (tasks, extensions, domain objects).  The Provider API provides a consistent way to set conventions, wire related configuration together (extension <- domain object <- task) and avoid evaluation ordering problems.

The Gradle codebase has evolved over time and has a mixture of simple getter/setter methods, Provider...

This was changed in version 0.110.0 to fix unhandled memory consumption from forwarded exceptions without a handler (internal server errors), and to make it consistent with the behavior of regular Python code.

 *  Fix: Follow HTTP 307 and 308 redirects on methods other than GET and POST. We're reluctant to
    change OkHttp's behavior in handling common HTTP status codes, but this fix is overdue! The new
    behavior is now consistent with [RFC 7231][rfc_7231_647], which is newer than OkHttp itself.
    If you want this update with the old behavior use [this interceptor][legacy_interceptor].
