Code Review

This pull request updates the Apache HttpClient 5 dependency to version 5.5. While this is a positive change, the new version deprecates some APIs that are currently used in the project. I've added a comment to the pom.xml file detailing the necessary code updates to address these deprecations, recommending they be handled in a follow-up task to ensure future compatibility.

Yes, with the open-source team we are looking at enabling Dependabot for dependency management, so we can test right away it can pick up the patch.
