What is OkHttp? Exploring Open Source Funding, Licensing, and Community Engagement
This post dives into the evolution of OkHttp––a widely used Java HTTP client––focusing on its open source business model, funding strategies, licensing under Apache 2.0, and strong community engagement. We discuss key concepts and features, explore practical applications, analyze challenges, and forecast future trends in open source sustainability. In doing so, we compare OkHttp’s model with emerging tokenized and decentralized funding approaches. Along the way, we include references to authoritative resources (such as Square’s OkHttp GitHub repository and the official OkHttp website), as well as insightful discussions from various developer communities.

Unveiling Open Source Success: The Inspiring Story of OkHttp
OkHttp shines not only as a tool but also as a case study in sustainable open source practices. By combining consistent funding with a culture of open collaboration, Square has created an environment where rapid innovation meets robust quality assurance. With extensive documentation available on the official OkHttp website, developers worldwide can learn best practices and integrate OkHttp into their projects with ease. Furthermore, the thriving community around OkHttp has provided a rich repository of tutorials, performance benchmarks, and case studies. This collaborative approach not only accelerates problem-solving but also ensures that the tool evolves in tandem with emerging industry trends. As alternative funding models, including tokenized systems, gain traction in the open source arena, OkHttp continues to stand as a testament to the efficacy of conventional corporate-backed contributions.

OpenSSL bug exposed up to 255 bytes of server heap and existed since 2011
> Issue summary: Calling the OpenSSL API function SSL_select_next_proto with an empty supported client protocols buffer may cause a crash or memory contents to be sent to the peer.
BoringSSL fix: https://boringssl.googlesource.com/boringssl/+/c1d9ac02514a1...
The heap leak was independently observed in 2014 in the Android okhttp library: https://github.com/square/okhttp/issues/437#issuecomment-358...

You can send the HTTP request with the base Java HTTP API or use something like Unirest: http://kong.github.io/unirest-java/

Can I use an HTTP Client library (Unirest) in a Spring Boot project
After not using Java or Spring Boot for development for a while I've kind of forgotten about most of it. I have an internal interview for a project tomorrow in which I need to know about Unirest but until now I haven't heard of any HTTP client libraries in Java because I never needed to use one. I'm learning about it right now and I can follow a tutorial and figure it out. However I'm confused as to why I haven't needed or heard of it before.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing OkHttp and unirest-java you can also consider the following projects:

Retrofit - A type-safe HTTP client for Android and the JVM
Netty - Netty project - an event-driven asynchronous network application framework
