Description
First, thank you for maintaining this library — it’s been a useful component in many Spring-based applications.
We’re currently migrating our application from Spring Boot 2.7.x to Spring Boot 3.x.x, which brings in Spring Framework 6. As part of this upgrade, we noticed that Smiley's HTTP Proxy Servlet depends on Apache HttpClient 4, which is not compatible with Spring Web 6, which now uses Apache HttpClient 5 by default.
Given that Spring Boot 3 introduces breaking changes and updated dependencies, could you please confirm:
- Are there any plans to update Smiley's HTTP Proxy Servlet to support Spring Boot 3 / Spring Framework 6?
- Is there a roadmap or timeline for this upgrade (if planned)?
Thanks in advance!

Research direction
Start by reviewing the library's Apache HttpClient 4 dependency and its compatibility with Spring Boot 3 and Spring Framework 6. The issue does not name files, tests, or a specific implementation target; done would require a maintainer decision on support, scope, and timing.
