Description

Today, BasicAuthCache is using object serialization in put/get methods.

However, object serialization is not supported with quarkus native mode and folk ends up removing this part.
Folks ends up removing serialization by native code override.

Would it be possible to have httpclient finding an implementation of put/get not using object serialization ?
What is the consequence of removing the serialization/deserialization ? Thread safety issue ? persistence issue ?
