Description
The latest version of the google-api-client java lib (2.9.0) has a dependency on httpcore v4 (specifically 4.4.16) which has reached EOL and has a couple of vulnerabilities ([CVE-2026-54399](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-54399) and [CVE-2026-54428](https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-54428)).
Can this dependency be upgraded to httpcore v5?
