Not sure what to suggest. None of those are our jar files. If you find a resolution pleas let us know!

(Also, OkHttp 😉 )

Aye, will switch

[s4nchez]

That looks like a specific problem with apache httpclient5 + android. A quick google shows that you may be able to exclude those files.

Alternatively, I'd try a different client implementation. Unless you have specific requirements, any of the clients http4k provides should be good to get started.

Okhttp seems to have fixed it. Ignoring them also works
