isomorphic_core_rpc requires commons-httpclient

Is there any chance of upgrading this requirement?

According to Apache: http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-3.x/
The Commons HttpClient project is now end of life, and is no longer being developed. It has been replaced by the Apache HttpComponents project in its HttpClient and HttpCore modules, which offer better performance and more flexibility.

We have written some custom server-side code to connect as a client over TLSv1.2, and want to use the new HttpClient libraries and are running into a conflict with isomorphics requirements.
