Extension of CodecConfigurer for HTTP message reader and writer options relevant on the client side. 
HTTP message readers for the following are registered by default:
byte[] 
ByteBuffer 
DataBuffer 
Resource 
String 

MultiValueMap<String,String> for form data 
JSON and Smile, if Jackson is present
XML, if JAXB2 is present
Server-Sent Events

HTTP message writers registered by default:
byte[] 
ByteBuffer 
DataBuffer 
Resource 
String 

MultiValueMap<String,String> for form data 

MultiValueMap<String,Object> for multipart data 
JSON and Smile, if Jackson is present
XML, if JAXB2 is present
