Support for java.net.http.HttpClient

[mpostupalski]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

java.net.http.HttpClient is a standard Java http client so it would be nice to have it instrumented automatically

Feature Description

java.net.http.HttpClient is instrumented automatically along with other 3rd party libraries

Describe Alternatives

So far we are using custom instrumentation which is confusing. We can also switch to some 3rd party http client but we want to keep our client lightweight.

Additional context

none

Hi @mpostupalski , Thanks for creating this. Instrumentation for java.net.http.HttpClient has been on our roadmap for some time but I'm hopeful we'll get to it sometime in the next few weeks.
