My development environment is behind a proxy so i need to set the proxy information to the rest template, that's all good when i use a HttpComponentsClientHttpRequestFactory and set the proxy setting in the httpClient and set it in the template.
But now i have a rest service that needs basic auth. And to set the basic auth credentials, i need to set them in the httpClient on the rest template. But i see that the getparams method in the httpClient is depricated, so i can't just update the existing client in the template, and if i create a new httpclient object, i will overwrite the proxy info that were set during the application bootstrapping.
So is there some way that i could extract the httpClient from the rest template and update it? Or is there any other way to tackle this?
Thanks.
