Description

InvokeHTTP uses the OkHttp client. The client allows users to specify which HTTP Protocols should be allowed, but currently that is not exposed as a property in InvokeHTTP. As a result, some NiFi users are encountering issues when interacting with certain servers using HTTP 2. We should allow for explicitly setting the protocol to HTTP 1.1.
