Support getting/writing the body as Flux<DataBuffer> in WebClient [SPR-14918] #19485
Description
Sébastien Deleuze opened SPR-14918 and commented
On server side, it is possible to perform low level operations on the body thanks to ServerHttpRequest/Response. Should we provide similar capability to the client? That could be done by exposing access to the underlying ClientHttpRequest/Response or by adding a DataBufferWriter/Reader for example.
Note that the initial need for this is to turn a Flux<byte[]> into an InputStream in order to be able to unzip it, so providing such facility in Reactor Core or Spring Framework 5 could be also a valid alternative
