OData V4 API - Apache HttpClient Migration

Ask the Question

Hey folks,
i am wondering if there are any plans to migrate to the apache httpclient 5. I want to use virtual threads in my spring boot app, but the httpclient 4 baked into the odata v4 api implementation doesn't support virtual threads and can cause thread pinning issues.

We've been considering HTTP Client 5 for OData v4 / v2 API for a while.
Unfortunately we cannot promise a solution soon, but we'll discuss this in the team again.

Any updates on this? Spring framework migrated from 4 to 5 with the 6.0 update in October '25 already and now we're lugging both dependencies around.
