Bad reference to HttpClient homepage [SPR-11853]

[spring-projects-issues]

Gena Makhomed opened SPR-11853 and commented

In Spring Framework reference 21.4 bad url detected:

Under the hood, Spring uses either the standard facilities provided by J2SE to perform HTTP calls or Commons HttpClient. Use the latter if you need more advanced and easy-to-use functionality. Refer to jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient for more info.

Valid reference is https://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/

Tre url jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient point to legacy Apache project Commons HttpClient which already is EOL:

End of life
The Commons HttpClient project is now end of life, and is no longer being developed. It has been replaced by the Apache HttpComponents project in its HttpClient and HttpCore modules, which offer better performance and more flexibility.

P.S. also, Commons HttpClient is invalid name, valid name is HttpClient.

P.P.S. name Commons HttpClient can be observed in two different places in documentation: 21.4 and 21.4.2.
