Removing HttpClient "http-outgoing" log lines

I am using HttpClient 4.5.2 to manage http requests. By default it sends log lines to my log file in the format of:

http-outgoing-50 >> "0[\r][\n]"
http-outgoing-50 >> "[\r][\n]"
http-outgoing-50 << "HTTP/1.1 200 OK[\r][\n]"
http-outgoing-50 << "Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1[\r][\n]"
http-outgoing-50 << "Content-Type: text/xml[\r][\n]"
http-outgoing-50 << "Content-Length: 163[\r][\n]"
http-outgoing-50 << "Date: Tue, 04 Apr 2017 08:36:40 GMT[\r][\n]"
http-outgoing-50 << "[\r][\n]"
http-outgoing-50 << "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><WbxTSPSchema 
http-outgoing-50 << HTTP/1.1 200 OK
http-outgoing-50 << Server: Apache-Coyote/1.1
http-outgoing-50 << Content-Type: text/xml
http-outgoing-50 << Content-Length: 163
http-outgoing-50 << Date: Tue, 04 Apr 2017 08:36:40 GMT
Connection can be kept alive indefinitely
Response Code : 200
Connection [id: 50][route: {}->http://stires-web-a.smst290.att.com:3100] can be kept alive

It multiples the log size by 10 or more!!!

How can I avoid those lines. My log is log4j based.

If you are using Log4j 2.x, then set the org.apache.http Logger to the Info level. This will block the log messages since those are logged at the Debug level.

<Logger name="org.apache.http" level="Info"/>

Here is the solution: https://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/logging.html

I put the lines for log4j in my app main class constructor.
