1. Apache HttpClient 4.5 HttpClient 4.5 is _almost_ compatible with Android API 26 or later. The trouble-maker is org.apache.http.conn.ssl.DefaultHostnameVerifier that depends on javax.naming APIs unsupported by Android It is _incompatible_ with earlier versions of Android API (< 26) and there is nothing that can be done about it. My project basically replaces the DefaultHostnameVerifier class with a fork back-ported from Apache HttpClient 5.0 and adds a few minor utility classes https://github.com/ok2c/httpclient-android-ext 2. Apache HttpClient 5.0 Apache HttpClient 5.0 _should_ be fully compatible with all common Android API versions. There used to be troubles with the logging code in HttpClient 5.0, so before I can declare it fully compatible I want to thoroughly test it. > Or do you mean they are "since" > the port and they actually support both platforms? > > You say core was folded into Android client, but presumably you don't > mean > "all" of it?
