use spring resttemplate or webclient to place REST requests

[patrickp-at-work]

spring rest template allows better abstraction of rest interfaces and is a de facto industry standard. Alternatively, there is Spring webclient now. Why do you use and outdated version of the OkHttpClient which is a lower level http library? If you try to avoid the transitive dependency to the Spring ecosystem: can you provide a separate client library for Spring?

is this issue still open?

Yes, i feel the same. We don't have enough control on the logging and handling response. It is a bigger problem for us as the end users are not clear on the error messages given in the exceptions.
