+==== RestTemplates
+
+`RestTemplates` is a static convenience factory for instances of
+`RestTemplate` that are useful in integration tests.  You can get a
+vanilla template or one that sends Basic HTTP authentication (with a
+username and password). And in either case the template will behave in
+a friendly way for testing, not following redirects (so you can assert
+the response location), ignoring cookies (so the template is
+stateless), and not throwing exceptions on server-side errors. It is
+recommended, but not mandatory, to use Apache HTTP Client (version
+4.3.2 or better), and if you have that on your classpath the
+`RestTemplates` will respond by configuring the client appropriately.
