Provide an memory efficient alternative to ClientHttpRequestInterceptor

[spring-projects-issues]

Phil Webb opened SPR-17470 and commented

See this issue for some background.

Currently the BasicAuthenticationInterceptor class is a ClientHttpRequestInterceptor which causes the entire body to be read into a byte array and can cause OutOfMemoryError errors. I've managed to work around the issue by using a AbstractClientHttpRequestFactoryWrapper, but it would be really nice if there was a better way to do this. Perhaps we can create an alternative ClientHttpRequestInterceptor that can be used when only headers need to be changed.

This would require a major overhaul of the interception mechanism, while we are winding down our development effort of RestTemplate in favour of WebClient.

I suggest closing as declined. What do you think, @rstoyanchev ?

Yes I agree, and it helps that there is a workaround.
