HttpClient 3.x versus 4.x upgrade

I am writing a new CloudStack Module and intend to use the newer Apache HttpClient 4.x library.

I noted that none of the current CloudStack modules use this, they are using the older HttpClient 3.x that has been EOL by Apache.
"Commons HttpClient 3.x codeline is at the end of life. All users of Commons HttpClient 3.x are strongly encouraged to upgrade to HttpClient 4.1"
http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-3.x/

Just wanted to the community aware of this issue and we can track it.

Soheil,

*Thank you* for raising this.

Can you do us all a favor and spend some time to document your design
(which includes dependency changes like this) on the wiki?

Here's the parent page you should build your page under:

Here's the template you can use:
