Robert Kanter commented on OOZIE-2538:
--------------------------------------

Why do we specify the versions in the webapp pom?  Shouldn't they go in the root pom?

> We learned that
> https://web.nvd.nist.gov/view/vuln/detail?vulnId=CVE-2015-5262 : http/conn/ssl/SSLConnectionSocketFactory.java in Apache HttpComponents HttpClient before 4.3.6 ignores the http.socket.timeout configuration setting during an SSL handshake, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (HTTPS call hang) via unspecified vectors.
> Also, Commons HttpClient project is now end of life, and is no longer being developed. It has been replaced by the Apache HttpComponents project in its HttpClient and HttpCore modules, which offer better performance and more flexibility.  http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-3.x/
> Hence, HttpClient version should be updated.
