Removes deprecated methods across HTTP instrumentation libraries. All removed methods have replacements available through renamed APIs (new* → create*, legacy accessors → modern getters).

Changes by Module

Apache HttpClient

• 4.3: Removed public getDelegate(). Made internal helpers (getServerAddress(), getServerPort(), getNetworkPeerAddress()) package-private instead of public deprecated.
• 5.2: Removed public getDelegate().

Armeria

• Removed newDecorator() from both client and server telemetry classes.

Jetty HttpClient

• 9.2: Removed three newHttpClient() overloads.
• 12.0: Removed two newHttpClient() overloads.

Netty

• Client: Removed static setChannelContext(Channel, Context).
• Server: Made createResponseHandler(HttpServerResponseBeforeCommitHandler) and createCombinedHandler(HttpServerResponseBeforeCommitHandler) private (were exposing internal classes).
• Common: Removed legacy accessors request(), channel(), remoteAddress().

Ratpack

• Removed getHandler(), getExecInterceptor(), getExecInitializer().

Migration Example

// Before
ArmeriaClientTelemetry telemetry = ArmeriaClientTelemetry.create(openTelemetry);
client.decorator(telemetry.newDecorator());

// After
ArmeriaClientTelemetry telemetry = ArmeriaClientTelemetry.create(openTelemetry);
client.decorator(telemetry.createDecorator());
