HttpComponents HttpCore 4.x - End of Life Notification (EOL)

[tporeba]

Describe the feature

Hi,
I got feedback from vulnerability scanner, that one of your dependency - httpcore:4.4.16 is End Of Life and no longer maintained, which means it does not receive security fixes.

aws-sdk-java-v2/pom.xml

Line 191 in 1926819

<httpcomponents.httpcore.version>4.4.16</httpcomponents.httpcore.version>

IMPORTANT: HttpCore 4 is at End of Life and is no longer being developed or supported. The users of HttpCore 4 are strongly encouraged to upgrade to HttpCore 5.

https://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-core-4.4.x/index.html

Are there any plans to migrate to the maintained newer version - HttpCore 5?

Use Case

Compliance with security guidelines about use of EOL dependencies.

Proposed Solution

Upgrade to HttpCore 5
