Apache HttpClient

Try it in 3 steps

1. 1

   Add HttpClient 5.6.4 as a dependency

   Add the dependency to an existing Maven project's pom.xml. Java 8 or newer is required.

   <dependency><groupId>org.apache.httpcomponents.client5</groupId><artifactId>httpclient5</artifactId><version>5.6.4</version></dependency>Copy
2. 2

   Create a client that performs a GET request

   Follow the classic API pattern from the official Quick Start, close the client, and inspect the response status. Import the required org.apache.hc.client5.http.* classes.

   try (CloseableHttpClient httpclient = HttpClients.createDefault()) { ClassicHttpRequest request = ClassicRequestBuilder.get("https://httpbin.org/get").build(); httpclient.execute(request, response -> { System.out.println(response.getCode()); return null; }); }Copy
3. 3

   Build and verify the application

   Run the existing project's tests or equivalent execution path and verify connection, TLS, proxy, and other environment-specific settings.

   mvn testCopy
