Use Apache httpclient 5.x with Jira to support https and SOCKS proxy combination

    • 1

      All current Jira versions use the Apache httpclient 4.5.x for outbound https connections. This version is not compatible with the combination https and SOCKS proxy, i.e. Java properties https.proxyHost and socksProxyHost.

      Java 8 itself supports it, i.e will use the proxy for the highest possible protocol: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/net/proxies.html

      But the httpclient 4.5 does not, causing unexpected results. See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1966

      This has been fixed in 5.0.
