* <p>This client uses Apache HttpClient 5.x, which provides the following
* improvements over the Apache HttpClient 4.5.x based client:</p>
* <ul>
* <li>Modern Java ecosystem compatibility including virtual thread support for Java 21</li>
* <li>Active maintenance with regular security updates</li>
* <li>Enhanced logging flexibility through SLF4J (replacing problematic JCL dependencies)</li>
* </ul>
* <p><b>Note:</b> Performance characteristics between Apache 4.5.x and 5.x clients are similar.</p>
* <p>See
* <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-java/latest/developer-guide/http-configuration-url.html">UrlConnectionHttpClient</a>
* for a lighter-weight alternative implementation.</p>
*
* <p>This can be created via {@link #builder()}</p>
