How to customize reactor Netty's HttpClient LoggingHandler without using deprecated methods?

Question

This solution is dependent on deprecated method HttpClient.create().tcpConfiguration and BootstrapHandlers class.

Basically I want to create

public class HttpLoggingHandler extends LoggingHandler

and configure HttpClient

How the same can be achieved using reactor-netty version 1.0.13 and above?

Answer 1

You can use the lifecycle callbacks provided by Reactor Netty (more information here)

HttpClient.create()
          .doOnChannelInit((observer, channel, remoteAddress) ->
                  channel.pipeline()
                         .addFirst(new LoggingHandler("reactor.netty.examples")));
