Jakub Scholz commented on KAFKA-4029:
-------------------------------------
[~rhauch] I opened the PR. I will continue to work on it tomorrow.
One of the things which came to my mind - the PR is currently using the
HttpURLConnection class for forwarding the HTTP(S) calls to the leader (as was
used by Kafka before). Configuring SSL - especially things like cipher suites
is quite cumbersome there. What about using some more advanced HTTP client?
Such as the Jetty client. It would mean additional dependencies, but we have
already Jetty server, so the different might not be so big. WDYT?
