Description

As of 2.11.0 ARQ centralizes all HTTP operations through HttpOp which relies on Apache HTTP Client. Currently we are using 4.2.3 while the latest stable release is actually 4.3.1

Therefore we should look at upgrading our code to use the latest version which may entail some refactoring since there appears to have been some breaking changes across the minor version bump which users have seen in usage - e.g. https://github.com/pyvandenbussche/sparqles/issues/9#issuecomment-27220738
