[keycloak-dev] Proposal: HttpClient SPI improvements

[Stian Thorgersen]

Afraid this is not something we would like to have. HttpClient SPI is
explicitly for obtaining a Apache HttpClient instance configured in config
files rather than in code. Further, JAX-RS client is not used within
Keycloak Server itself as such this is not something we want to support/add.
