Update Apache HttpClient to latest version

[mxmlnglt]

Hello,

I discovered that the version of Apache HttpClient used by (Open)Feign is only the 4.5.3 - see https://github.com/OpenFeign/feign/blob/master/httpclient/pom.xml - which is more than 2 years 1/2 old:

27 January 2017 - HttpComponents HttpClient 4.5.3 (GA) released
This is a maintenance release that fixes a number of issues discovered since release 4.5.2.

While the 4.5.10 (GA) has just been released: https://hc.apache.org/news.html

Could you please update? Thanks.

Hi Maxine,

Sure thing, send us a PR and I will review it asap

Note: I'm currently trying to replace (old) API calls with OpenFeign (through Spring Cloud) on a project (already) using Apache HttpClient (in v4.5.9); thus I want to make sure I don't downgrade it.

Fwiw, you can overwrite the version of Apache http client by declaring the dependency on your project. Same is true for all feign dependencies

Feign 10.5.1 is released with this changed. Closing this ticket.
