Replace HttpClient with HttpURLConnection

[Fleker]

Trying to compile with this library in my app on API level 25 and it's not working.

Error:(46, 13) Failed to resolve: org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient:4.5

After examining some other help it seems like your library is using an old networking library that is not present in the latest versions of Android (and beyond).

Seems like the problem lies in the RSSReader class right at the start.

public RSSFeed load(String uri) throws RSSReaderException {
    HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet(uri);

With some slight tweaking of how the data is retrieved, it should be easy to replace this in the app without any other impact.

Thanks Fleker.

I'd be happy to merge a pull request for a patch that updates the version number of httpclient and tweaks the retrieval mechanism accordingly.

Thank you Nick for the patch, merged. Have a good weekend.

Thank you, could you update Gradle dependency pls?

[Fleker]

The dependency should automatically be updated using jitpack. Has it not?

I still get that error during gradle build. (com.github.ahorn:android-rss:v1.0-rc1)
