I like what Nicolas suggested in one of his replies, that we make this (and other necessary timeout configs) a well specified contract and have them defined all the way from the settings. I think we can handle this change as part of that work. I can file a enhancement JIRA to track this work and have it available in either the upcoming release or some release after that (depending on how big this change turns out to be). My main motivation behind BasicURLHandler at this point is the fact that one of the test which uses this class takes unnecessarily long because of the missing timeout support. The minor change that I included in that PR should let us move forward, on that front. -Jaikiran 2017-05-21 7:00 GMT+02:00 J Pai <jai.forums2...@gmail.com>: > Having been involved in a HttpClient 3 to 4 migration in an unrelated > project, I think at this point, it’s too big a change to consider.
