Switch to Java 11 HttpClient #89

@rymsha

Description

@rymsha

Currently lib-httpclient uses OkHttpClient. There are a few problems with it:

  • OkHttpClient written in Kotlin and entire Kotlin lib bundled into application jar. App jar becomes quite big
  • During build time OSGi looks for annotations in all the classes, including Kotlin lib classes. It adds a few seconds to application build time
  • The way OKHttpclient is used (and it is dictated by current lib-http-client) API , entire HttpcCient instance with a new thread pool is created

Is we switch to Java 11 HttpClient we don't need to bundle Kotlin lib, nor any additional classes - as they are part of JDK. It will lead to faster builds and smaller artifacts.

It is a "major version" change and we can take a chance to change the API so it does not require us to create a new connection every time. (connectTimeout, certificates and clientCertificate are connection related)
