Hi @turbanoff,
This PR is ready for integration - `JDK-8258657` has been resolved.
You can proceed with issuing `integrate` bot command. Then I will `sponsor` it.
But before that, I would like to ask if you would like to take on board the changes to `HttpClientImpl`? Alternatively, I can follow it up separately and reapply the backed-out change under different bugID.
