      fragment to use

    • socketOptions

      SocketOptions socketOptions()
      Socket options for connections opened by this client. If there is a value explicitly configured on this type and on the socket options, the one configured on this type's builder will win:
      Returns:

      DNS address lookup preferences to be used by this client. Default value is determined by capabilities of the system.
      Returns:
      dns address lookup strategy

    • defaultHeadersMap

      Map<String,String> defaultHeadersMap()
      Default headers to be used in every request from configuration.

      ParserMode mediaTypeParserMode()
      Configure media type parsing mode for HTTP Content-Type header.
      Returns:
      media type parsing mode

    • contentEncoding

      ContentEncodingContext contentEncoding()
      Configure the listener specific ContentEncodingContext. This method discards all previously registered ContentEncodingContext. If no content encoding context is registered, default encoding context is used.
      Returns:
      content encoding context

    • mediaContext

      MediaContext mediaContext()
      Configure the listener specific MediaContext. This method discards all previously registered MediaContext. If no media context is registered, default media context is used.
      Returns:
      media context

    • mediaSupports

      List<MediaSupport> mediaSupports()
      Media supports (manually added). If both mediaContext() and this is configured, there will be a new context created from return of this method, with fallback of mediaContext().

      List<WebClientService> services()
      WebClient services.

      Can be set to true to force the use of relative URIs in all requests, regardless of the presence or absence of proxies or no-proxy lists.
      Returns:
      relative URIs flag

    • executor

      ExecutorService executor()
      Client executor service.
      Returns:
      executor service to use when needed (such as for HTTP/2)

    • sendExpectContinue

      boolean sendExpectContinue()
      Whether Expect-100-Continue header is sent to verify server availability before sending an entity.

      Defaults to true.

      Returns:
      whether Expect:100-Continue header should be sent on streamed transfers

    • connectionCacheSize

      int connectionCacheSize()
      Maximal size of the connection cache. For most HTTP protocols, we may cache connections to various endpoints for keep alive (or stream reuse in case of HTTP/2). This option limits the size. Setting this number lower than the "usual" number of target services will cause connections to be closed and reopened frequently.

    • cookieManager

      Optional<WebClientCookieManager> cookieManager()
      WebClient cookie manager.
      Returns:
      cookie manager to use

    • readContinueTimeout

      Duration readContinueTimeout()
      Socket 100-Continue read timeout. Default is 1 second. This read timeout is used when 100-Continue is sent by the client, before it sends an entity.
      Returns:
      read 100-Continue timeout duration

    • shareConnectionCache

      boolean shareConnectionCache()
      Whether to share connection cache between all the WebClient instances in JVM.
      Returns:
      true if connection cache is shared

    • maxInMemoryEntity

      int maxInMemoryEntity()
      If the entity is expected to be smaller that this number of bytes, it would be buffered in memory to optimize performance. If bigger, streaming will be used.

      Note that for some entity types we cannot use streaming, as they are already fully in memory (String, byte[]), for such cases, this option is ignored. Default is 128Kb.

      Returns:
      maximal number of bytes to buffer in memory for supported writers

    • writeBufferSize

      int writeBufferSize()
      Buffer size used when writing data to the underlying socket on a client TCP connection. A value that is less or equal to 1 can be set to disable buffering at this level. Note that if writing data to the socket in small chunks, they may not be delivered to the network immediately due to Nagle's algorithm (i.e., if TCP_NO_DELAY is turned off).
      Returns:
      number of bytes in write buffer

    • defaultRequestHeaders

      default ClientRequestHeaders defaultRequestHeaders()
      Default headers as a headers object. Creates a new instance for each call, so the returned value can be safely mutated.
      Returns:
      default headers
