Not at this time. The far-reaching unintended consequences of the original fix tells me this is a fiddly piece of code, so we are a bit averse trying to do more things than necessary here. I think we just let JDK 11 and 17 be as they are, even though it leaves HTTP client de-jure non-compliant to RFC. Let applications first encounter any default policy change in JDK 21.
