from OkHttp 4.x:

**OkHttp is now packaged as separate JVM and Android artifacts.** This allows us to offer
platform-specific features and optimizations. If your build system handles [Gradle module metadata],
this change should be automatic.

**MockWebServer has a new coordinate and package name.** We didn’t like that our old artifact

     * If necessary, you can create and configure the defaults yourself with the following code:

    and `Call`. With this release we’ve rearranged things so that the
    `HttpURLConnection` frontend now delegates to the `Call` APIs internally.
    This has enabled substantial simplifications and optimizations in the OkHttp
    core for both frontends.

    For most HTTP requests the consequences of this change will be negligible.
    If your application uses `HttpURLConnection.connect()`,
