Description

Apache HttpClient in version 4 is kinda old and not used in newer apps.
Last release was in 2022.

Please consider upgrading client to version 5.

Motivation

Newer applications are already using HttpClient 5 and had removed all HttpClient 4 dependencies (like Spring-based 3.x apps).
All components f.e. micrometer for client in version 4 are already deprecated.
I have to individually create an old client with monitoring and custom settings only for PolicyEnforcer purposes.
