Customizing HttpClient

Several methods are provided for customizing the underlying HTTP client and client builder classes:

RestClient.BuilderhttpClientBuilder(HttpClientBuilder) - Set the client builder yourself.createHttpClientBuilder() - Override to create the client builder.createHttpClient() - Override to create the client.createConnectionManager() - Override to create the connection management.

Additionally, all methods on the HttpClientBuilder class have been extended with fluent setters.

Example
// Create a client with customized HttpClient settings.
MyBean bean = RestClient
    .create()
    .disableRedirectHandling()
    .connectionManager(myConnectionManager)
    .addInterceptorFirst(myHttpRequestInterceptor)
    .build();

Refer to the HttpClientBuilder docs for more information.
