FromHttpMessageWriter and MultipartHttpMessageWriter both support
MultiValueMap except the former supports String values only. This
presents an issue since either full generic type information must be
provided, which is cumbersome on the client side, or if left out there
is no good way to order the writers to make a proper decision.
This commit:
- refines the canWrite behavior of to not a
accept MultiValueMap without proper generic information unless the
MediaType is explicitly set providing a strong hint.
- modifies MultipartHttpMessageWriter to be configured with a
FormHttpMessageWriter so it can write both plan and multipart data with
the ability to properly differentiate based on actual map values.

This commit exposes the ClientRequest's URL and HttpMethod fields via a
setter, so that they can be changed more easily in a request that was
created via ClientRequest.from(ClientRequest).
Issue: SPR-16093
Before this commit, when adding filters to a builder obtained via
`WebClient.mutate()`, the filters were added both to the original client
as well as the mutated builder. This commit fixes that.
Issue: SPR-16059
Prior to this commit, the `ResourceWebHandler` would itself handle the
response with an HTTP 404 in many cases, including a missing static
resource.
This does not give a chance to `WebExceptionHandler` instances to handle
that error and, for example, display an error page.
See spring-projects/spring-boot#8625
Issue: SPR-16023
Concrete server and client, reactive request and response
implementations should not have to be accessed outside their package.
They could be seen as private to their HttpHandler adapters and
ClientHttpConnector's respectively.
The one exception, WebSocket upgrades in spring-webflux, is an internal
framework use case, accommodated via downcast + accessors in the
abstract base classes.
Prior to this commit, the `WebClient` always throws a `ClassCastException`
when an error occurs in `bodyToMono(ParameterizedTypeReference)``, and
not the expected exception, as set up by `onStatus`
Issue: SPR-16025
Prior to this commit, asking for a `Void` type using any of the
`ClientResponse#bodyTo*` methods would immediately return an empty
`Publisher` without consuming the response body.
Not doing so can lead to HTTP connection pool inconsistencies and/or
memory leaks, since:
* a connection that still has a response body being written to it cannot
be properly recycled in the connection pool
* incoming `DataBuffer` might not be released
This commit detects when `Void` types are asked as body types and in
those cases does the following:
1. Subscribe to the response body `Publisher` to allow the connection to
be returned to the connection pool
2. `cancel()` the body `Publisher` if the response body is not empty; in
that case, we choose to close the connection vs. consume the whole
response body
Those changes imply that `ClientHttpResponse` and other related
contracts don't need a `close()` method anymore.
Issue: SPR-16018
Prior to this issue, SPR-15920 added this new `close()` method which was
supposed to be called to clean resources after response processing.
This commit changes the meaning of that method: calling `close()` will
close the underlying HTTP connection. This has to be called if the
response body is not consumed by the application, since at that point
the underlying connection might be in an inconsistent state if shared in
a connection pool.

This commit moves WebFluxUriComponentsBuilder.fromServerRequest to the
ServerRequest interface itself.
Consequently, the WebFluxUriComponentsBuilder is removes itself, as it
contained no other methods.
Issue: SPR-15953
The typical way to load DispatcherHandler is to use
WebHttpHandlerBuilder#applicationContext which also detecs filters,
exception handlers, as well as other beans that are injected into every
ServerWebExchange -- custom session manager, localecontext resolver,
codecs for form data, multipart data, etc
WebHttpHandlerBuilder is the preferred and way so removing the ones on
DispatcherHandler. They could always be added back later.
This commit introduces the WebFluxUriComponentsBuilder, with a single
method that creates a UriComponentsBuilder for a ServerRequest. More
methods to be added by @rstoyanchev.
Issue: SPR-15953
This commit introduces a methodName() method to the ServerRequest,
returning the String name of the method. This method is useful for
non-standard HTTP methods.
Prior to that commit, the `ResponseSpec` `WebClient` would process error
responses (4xx, 5xx HTTP status) and transform those into error signals
with a `WebClientResponseException`. But this would only work if the
HTTP response would have a non-empty response body.
An empty error response would not send an error signal and only
translate in an `onComplete` signal.
This commit fixes this behavior and makes sure that this error signal is
sent in all cases.
Issue: SPR-15946
Before this commit, there was no way to signal the HTTP client that we
were done consuming the response. Without that, the underlying client
library cannot know when it is safe to release the associated resources
(e.g. the HTTP connection).
This commit adds new `close()` methods on both `ClientHttpResponse`
and `ClientResponse`. This methods is non-blocking and its behavior
depends on the library, its configuration, HTTP version, etc.
At the `WebClient` level, `close()` is called automatically if we
consume the response body through the `ResponseSpec` or the
`ClientResponse` itself.
Note that it is *required* to call `close()` manually otherwise; not
doing so might create resource leaks or connection issues.
Issue: SPR-15920
The PathPattern compareTo method is now consistent with equals when
two patterns are of the same specificity but otherwise different.
Separately PathPattern now exposes a Comparator by specificity that
offers the current functionality of compareTo. This can be used for
actual sorting where we only care about specificity.
Rename getPathRemaining to matchStartOfPath since the method does
match and to be more clear about what the method and the return value
intuitively follows.
Remove matchStart which matches the start of the pattern (rather than
the start of the path). It is a use case that does not come up in
request mapping.
This commit changes the WebClient so that it now throws a
`WebClientResponseException` for `ResponseSpec.bodyTo`. This newly
introduces exception contains the status code, headers, and body of the
response message.
As a consequence of the above, we had to change `onStatus` so that the
`exceptionFunction` now returns a `Mono<Throwable>` rather than a
`Throwable`, which it was before. The Mono allows for asynchronous
operations, such as reading the contents of the body.
