Rebased, all checks are green.

The main fix here is to avoid subclassing the PlainConnectionSocketFactory, and instead implement the ConnectionSocketFactory interfact directly, delegating to PlainConnectionSocketFactory.INSTANCE where necessary.

Can you elaborate more on this, please?

@eddumelendez According to the maintainers of apache http, PlainConnectionSocketFactory is not meant to be directly subclassed, and they make no API stability guarantees when doing so. See: apache/httpcomponents-client#535 (comment)

Thanks @twarner-sofi ! useful info 👍🏽
