openjdk-default installs buggy JDK version 11.0.14 where newer version 11.0.14.1 is available (java.net.HttpClient is buggy)

[Stefan A.]

OpenJDK 11.0.14 has an bug with httpclient which results in unusable applications (if this package is used)

the webrequests are failing with an invalid request and is always rejected (after installing this package/update the tool which worked before with older version is stopping working with unexpected errors, mostly 400 BAD REQUEST on load balancers)

Source OpenJDK: https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/JDKUpdates/JDK11u
11.0.14.1+1 (GA), February 8th 2022, [Release 1 2] [Tag][Binaries]

=> the patch should also be included in the default jre package to fix this issue for everyone

Workaround: use OpenJDK 16 (the HttpClient in this Version is not affected and still working)

this ticket seems that it can be closed
I have seen that the new version 11.0.14.1 is provided now if you install all latest updates (default-jre) so the issue should not be present anymore

... still strange that nobody seems to be interested that I opened the bug, a fix is there and my ticket is still completly untouched (still in state new)

If somebody reads this: please close this ticket for cleanup - I don't find the button to close it
