import org.springframework.http.client.support.HttpAccessor;

Callback interface for initializing a ClientHttpRequest prior to it being used. 
Typically used with HttpAccessor and subclasses such as RestTemplate to apply consistent settings or headers to each request. 
Unlike ClientHttpRequestInterceptor, this interface can apply customizations without needing to read the entire request body into memory.
