robert lazarski commented on AXIS2-5959:
----------------------------------------
We already support httpcommons4 , see the release notes from 1.7.0.
Axis2 1.7.0 supports Apache HttpClient 4.x in addition to the no longer
maintained Commons HttpClient 3.x. To enable the support for HttpClient 4.x,
use
{{org.apache.axis2.transport.http.impl.httpclient4.HTTPClient4TransportSender}}
instead of {{org.apache.axis2.transport.http.CommonsHTTPTransportSender}} in
{{axis2.xml}}. Please note that the code was written for HttpClient 4.2.x and
should work with 4.3.x and 4.4.x, but is incompatible with 4.5.x.
Those release notes are from 1.7.0 which was a few years ago, I am running
httpclient-4.5.3.jar just fine.
Here's my relevant axis2.xml, hope that helps.
<transportSender name="https"
class="org.apache.axis2.transport.http.impl.httpclient4.HTTPClient4TransportSender">
<parameter name="PROTOCOL">HTTP/1.1</parameter>
<parameter name="Transfer-Encoding">chunked</parameter>
</transportSender>
It is confusing that we still ship with the old commons by default and
distribute that jar.
[~veithen] is there any reason we could not remove all references to the old
httpclient3 code in SVN?

> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Aman Mishra
> Priority: Critical
> Attachments: pom.xml
>
>
> We are using axis2 version 1.7.8 ( *org.apache.axis2.osgi-1.7.8.jar* ) in our
> project, we can see that in this project pom.xml under <Import-Package>
> section, dependency on "Commons HttpClient project". This dependency is there
> in the form of *"org.apache.commons.httpclient.*,".* The same thing we have
> seen in axis2 latest jar 1.7.9.
> Now as we know this "Commons HttpClient project" is already ended of its life
> long back and its no longer being developed.
> So, please change this package dependency to Apache HttpComponents project in
> its HttpClient [org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient].
> (httpclient-4.5.9.jar).
> +*Note:*+ Right now we are supplying the dependency
> "*org.apache.commons.httpclient"* to "*org.apache.axis2.osgi-1.7.8.jar"* by
> "com.springsource.org.apache.commons.httpclient-3.1.0.jar". Now in Nexus
> vulnerability report
> "com.springsource.org.apache.commons.httpclient-3.1.0.jar" is showing as
> vulnerable. So we want to remove this jar. But after removing this jar
> "*org.apache.axis2.osgi-1.7.8.jar"* osgi bundle is not up due to unsatisfied
> dependency of package "*org.apache.commons.httpclient".* We have tried to
> provide the dependency by using httpclient-4.5.9.jar but this has different
> package hierarchy as it required in the form
> "*org.apache.commons.httpclient".*
> So please change this dependency according to latest apache jar
> httpclient-4.5.9.jar.
> For Reference: Attaching pom.xml of Axis2 1.7.8 project.
