[ecf-dev] update to httpcomponents version for ECF filetransfer

[Scott Lewis <slewis@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Folks,

Via this bug [1], we have been requested to update our version of 
httpcore/httpclient from Orbit.  For Kepler, we used 4.1.4/4.1.3 and we 
have been asked to update to  4.2.4/4.2.5 because there are other 
consumers that are using the more recent version (Mylyn, I 
believe)...see [1].

I've opened reuse CQs [2][3], and they've been approved.

I've loaded 4.2.4/4.2.5 into my local workspace...tested using our 
fieltransfer test suite...and happily found no problems...i.e. all our 
filetransfer tests pass just fine using 4.2.4/4.2.5.

Now...what I would like to do is to change over Jenkins build...so that 
these versions are used from Orbit, rather than the old versions.  Then 
we can/could make builds available for integration tests with 
p2/platform prior to Luna M2.  I'm not completely clear on what changes 
need to be made to the build (rmap, cquery, mspec) to affect these 
changes to the httpclient4 feature build.   Could someone more familiar 
with the build than I (probably Markus or Wim) help out with this over 
the next days?   I'll make the necessary changes with appropriate 
guidance, as I would like to understand better how Orbit interaction 
works in our builder.

Thanks,

Scott
