Question

I have used

setSSLSocketFactory() method doesn't exist for this dependency

Answer 1

It seems that the SSLSocketFactory should now be set on the ConnectionManagerBuilder

See the official documentation here with an example: Migration to Apache HttpClient 5.x classic APIs

Sample code:

PoolingHttpClientConnectionManager connectionManager = PoolingHttpClientConnectionManagerBuilder.create()
      .setSSLSocketFactory(SSLConnectionSocketFactoryBuilder.create()
              .setSslContext(SSLContexts.createSystemDefault())
              .setTlsVersions(TLS.V_1_3)
              .build())
      .setDefaultSocketConfig(SocketConfig.custom()
              .setSoTimeout(Timeout.ofMinutes(1))
              .build())
      .setPoolConcurrencyPolicy(PoolConcurrencyPolicy.STRICT)
      .setConnPoolPolicy(PoolReusePolicy.LIFO)
      .setDefaultConnectionConfig(ConnectionConfig.custom()
              .setSocketTimeout(Timeout.ofMinutes(1))
              .setConnectTimeout(Timeout.ofMinutes(1))
              .setTimeToLive(TimeValue.ofMinutes(10))
              .build())
      .build();
HttpClient httpClient = HttpClientBuilder
                        .create()
                        .setConnectionManager(connectionManager)
                        .build();

I did it and it is working fine
