body. * PR #269: 4.5.x use array fill and more. \+ Use Arrays.fill(). \+ Remove
redundant modifiers. \+ Use Collections.addAll() and Collection.addAll() APIs
instead of loops. \+ Remove redundant returns. \+ No need to explicitly declare
an array when calling a vararg method. \+ Remote extra semicolons (;). \+ Use a
'L' instead of 'l' to make long literals more readable. *
PublicSuffixListParser.parseByType(Reader) allocates but does not use a 256 char
StringBuilder. * Incorrect handling of malformed authority component by
URIUtils#extractHost (bsc#1177488, CVE-2020-13956). * Avoid updating Content-

Non-blocking connection terminated due to 'java.io.IOException: Broken pipe' can
