RFR [11] 8197564: HTTP Client implementation - JEP 321

[Sebastien Deleuze]

Hi,

I am currently implementing a draft support for JDK new HTTP client in
Spring Framework 5 [1] (using JDK 10 for now) in order to be able to
leverage it as a WebClient [2] engine.

Our integration tests all pass with regular HTTP/1.1 webservices (we have
not tested the HTTP/2 support yet), but not with streaming APIs. Based on
my current understanding, it seems the CompletableFuture<HttpResponse>
returned by HttpClient#sendAsync completes only when all the data of the
response body is available, not asap the status code + headers are
available like with Jetty or Reactor Netty clients (which prevents to
consume infinite streams via Reactive Streams API).

Is consuming streaming HTTP/1.1 endpoints (like JSON streaming or SSE)
supported by current implementation?

Regards,
Sébastien Deleuze
