Add HTTPS support back to openConnection

I noticed the remark "switch to http client due to limited default https ciphers for url openConnection."
Is this buried in the http library jars in lib? Can they be upgraded/updated?
Can they be unpacked into the project so we can look closer at the connection factory constructor to support HTTPS?
I have some background in this area.
It's the github requests in update.java and help.java for this commit

I still need the other http library for the network requests I make to get the domain token. I decided since I already had a more feature rich client with better tsl defaults I would just use it.
Thanks for the link to the commit, and I see what you did there. 😉
The extra code and elbow grease to switch to the Apache HTTPS client is very much appreciated.
Especially as that client component will automatically take advantage of TLS1.3 and HTTPS/2 improvements as they are adopted by the hosting services of remote resources/external dependencies.
