Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing Apache HttpClient v4.x usage and the linked past issue #1791 to identify the affected integration and compatibility constraints. Confirm the required Apache HttpClient v5.x+ dependency and migration scope before making changes; done means the library uses v5.x+ without breaking its existing HTTP client behavior.
