I am starting a new java app and going to use log4j2 ( i am a newbie to log4j2) My app is logging correctly, but I want to get rid of all the warnings I am getting from org.apache.http
According to https://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/logging.html i should be able to control via log4j(although they only give examples for log4j and not log4j2).
my log file has entries like
Sep 16, 2017 9:01:32 AM org.apache.http.client.protocol.ResponseProcessCookies processCookies WARNING: Invalid cookie header: "Set-Cookie: visid_incap_661002=+HabQKJHRbKzy; expires=Sun, 16 Sep 2018 11:41:58 GMT; path=/; Domain=.mydomain.com". Invalid 'expires' attribute: Sun, 16 Sep 2018 11:41:58 GMT
I am trying to suppress all the WARNINGs from org.apache.http.client Some articles say to the client is actually using org.apache.http.wire , but nothing i have tried seems to work
this is my log4j2.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration status="warn">
<Appenders>
<RollingFile name="fileLogger" fileName="${basePath}/app-info.log" filePattern="${basePath}/app-info-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.log">

<Console name="console" target="SYSTEM_OUT">

</Console>
</Appenders>
<Loggers>

<logger name="org.apache.http.wire" level="ERROR" />
<logger name="org.apache.commons.httpclient" level="ERROR" />
<logger name="ntapp" level="debug" additivity="true">
<appender-ref ref="fileLogger" level="INFO" />
</logger>
<Root level="INFO" additivity="false">

</Root>
</Loggers>
</Configuration>
THanks for any help
So this article appears to be the correct way to fix my issue , and it did.
Stackoverflow article - Solution to my issue
would still like to understand why i could not do it via the logger ( from the doc of http client it looked like i should be able to )
