Description

Fedora Linux from release 28 (not released yet) deprecates usage of insecure encryption algorithms by default (docs). This causes httpcomponents tests to fail, because they're using DSA keys in the test data.
The affected tests are:
TestCustomSSL.testCustomSSLContext
TestHttpAsyncHandlers.testHttpExceptionInHandler
TestHttpAsyncHandlers.testHttpGets
TestHttpAsyncHandlers.testHttpHeadsDelayedResponse
TestHttpAsyncHandlers.testHttpHeads
TestHttpAsyncHandlers.testHttpPostIdentity
TestHttpAsyncHandlers.testHttpPostNoContentLength
TestHttpAsyncHandlers.testHttpPostsChunked
TestHttpAsyncHandlers.testHttpPostsHTTP10
TestHttpAsyncHandlers.testHttpPostsNoEntity
TestHttpAsyncHandlers.testHttpPostsWithContentLength
TestHttpAsyncHandlers.testHttpPostsWithExpectContinue
TestHttpAsyncHandlers.testHttpPostsWithExpectationVerificationDelayedResponse
TestHttpAsyncHandlers.testHttpPostsWithExpectationVerification
TestHttpAsyncHandlers.testNoServiceHandler
TestHttpAsyncHandlers.testResponseNoContent
TestHttpAsyncHandlersPipelining.testHttpDelayedResponse
TestHttpAsyncHandlersPipelining.testHttpGets
TestHttpAsyncHandlersPipelining.testHttpHeads
TestHttpAsyncHandlersPipelining.testHttpPosts
TestHttpAsyncHandlersPipelining.testUnexpectedConnectionClosure
