Please upgrade org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient

[danwashusen]

Many other OS libs are now running against org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient:4.2.x (e.g. Selenium) which seems to be incompatible with org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient:4.1 that aws-java-sdk depends on.

If I manually upgrade to org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient:4.2.2 the AWS client throws java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.http.HttpEntityEnclosingRequest during initialisation.

To work around this we're going to have to turn off Firefox auto-updates and pin FF at an old version so that Selenium works. Not really ideal for a web app dev team...

Sorry, the above is not correct. The ClassNotFoundException was being thrown because htttpcore was being included as a test dependancy and as a result the AWS client couldn't find it at run time.

Hi Dan,
Were you able to run successfully after you upgraded to HttpClient 4.2.X?

Thanks,
Wade

For what it's worth, I've been running AWS SDK with HttpClient 4.2.3 without seeing any issues (that's not to say there /aren't/ any issues, but I'd hope the SDK has tests that would catch them?)

Yep, confirmed working with HttpClient 4.2.x.
