httpClient.getConnectionManager() is deprecated - what should be used instead?

Question

I have inherited the code

import org.apache.http.client.HttpClient;
...
HttpClient httpclient = createHttpClientOrProxy();

    try {
        HttpPost postR         


        

Answer 1

Instead of creating a new instance of HttpClient, use the Builder. You would get a CloseableHttpClient.

e.g usage:

CloseableHttpClient httpClient = HttpClientBuilder.create().setProxy(proxy).build()

Instead of using getConnectionManager().shutdown(), use the close() method instead on CloseableHttpClient.
