CommonsClientHttpRequestFactory depends on outdated "commons-httpclient" 3.1 [SPR-7424]

[spring-projects-issues]

Evgeny Goldin opened SPR-7424 and commented

CommonsClientHttpRequestFactory used by Rest Template depends on outdated "commons-httpclient" v3.1.
Version 4.0.1 is available and it's a serious upgrade to HttpClient:
http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-4.0.1/index.html
http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client/download.html

It would be nice if CommonsClientHttpRequestFactory was updated to use v4.x of Apache HttpClient

Affects: 3.0.3
