Hi, I am facing a classic java cert issue PKIX path building failed . I migrated from JavaHttpClient() to ApacheClient() and built it like this to disable SSL verification. Yet getting the same issue. What am I missing?

Apache4Client(
          client = HttpClients.custom()
            .setDefaultRequestConfig(
              RequestConfig.custom()
                .setRedirectsEnabled(false)
                .setCookieSpec(CookieSpecs.IGNORE_COOKIES)
                .build()
            ).setSSLHostnameVerifier(NoopHostnameVerifier.INSTANCE)
            .build()
        )

This is the exception log:

Attached full log in the thread. Here is my usage (it’s a small app): https://github.com/overfullstack/revoman-root/blob/f43bc461e580eae650c84ce179645423118e1eba/src/jvmMain/kotlin/org/revcloud/ReVoman.kt#L84-L84
