Support for JDK Http client?

[marco-farinetti-evooq]

Hi all,
Support for using the jdk http client in the exporters rather than the okhttp one was introduced in open-telemetry/opentelemetry-java#5351.
As far as I see the agent doesn't support this feature nor it can be configured in an extension.
Are there plans to include it?
Thank you

As far as I see the agent doesn't support this feature nor it can be configured in an extension.

Could you elaborate what prevents you from configuring it from an extension?

Are there plans to include it?

I'm not aware of such plans

Could you elaborate what prevents you from configuring it from an extension?

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, if you have hints it's appreciated. Here's what I tried:

added the dependency in the extension:

    implementation("io.opentelemetry:opentelemetry-exporter-sender-jdk")
//  exclude okhttp from the otlp exporter
    implementation("io.opentelemetry:opentelemetry-exporter-otlp") {
        exclude(group = "io.opentelemetry", module = "opentelemetry-exporter-sender-okhttp")
    }

From what I understand the HttpSenderProvider implementation to use is defined in META-INF/services/io.opentelemetry.exporter.internal.http.HttpSenderProvider (which for the jdk client contains io.opentelemetry.exporter.sender.jdk.internal.JdkHttpSenderProvider).

But if the java agent jar contains the okhttp implementation it always uses that one no matter what I define in the extension.
