Question

I am running a code in a WAS container and when I try to create the HTTP instance like:
val x = Http()
I am receiving the error below.

Is there any way to avoid the code tries to create an SSLContext instance?
I am saying that because I will just need to make an HTTP request using TCP protocol. I don't have any intention to use SSL in my code at this time.

In reality it doesn't have a straightforward solution and it seems an issue in the library. Because of that I opened an issue as you can see on the link below.
