#### doExecute

    protected abstract CloseableHttpResponse doExecute(org.apache.http.HttpHost target,
                                  org.apache.http.HttpRequest request,
                                  org.apache.http.protocol.HttpContext context)
                                                throws IOException,
                                                       ClientProtocolException

Throws:
  `IOException`
  `ClientProtocolException`

#### execute

    public CloseableHttpResponse execute(org.apache.http.HttpHost target,
                                org.apache.http.HttpRequest request,
                                org.apache.http.protocol.HttpContext context)
                                  throws IOException,
                                         ClientProtocolException

Executes HTTP request using the given context.

Specified by:
  `execute` in interface `HttpClient`
Parameters:
  `target` - the target host for the request. Implementations may accept `null` if they can still determine a route, for example to a default target or by inspecting the request.
  `request` - the request to execute
  `context` - the context to use for the execution, or `null` to use the default context
Returns:
  the response to the request. This is always a final response, never an intermediate response with an 1xx status code. Whether redirects or authentication challenges will be returned or handled automatically depends on the implementation and configuration of this client.
Throws:
  `IOException` - in case of a problem or the connection was aborted
  `ClientProtocolException` - in case of an http protocol error

#### execute

    public CloseableHttpResponse execute(HttpUriRequest request,
                                org.apache.http.protocol.HttpContext context)
                                  throws IOException,
