In the 4.3.x line, conversion exceptions do not get wrapped as RestClientException yet, so the expectation remains to receive a HttpMessageNotReadableException for conversion-level IOExceptions.
Issue: SPR-13592
Change the `StringHttpMessageConverter` to defer calling
Charset.availableCharsets() until absolutely necessary to help improve
startup times.

Previously a requestURI that contained ';' would have the value incorrectly stripped out when using
ForwardedHeaderFilter.
This commit ensures that the ';' is preserved when using ForwardedHeaderFilter.
Issue: SPR-15428
Previously ForwardedHeaderFilter would override the requestURI with a URL decoded value. This would cause
problems when using a URL encoded requestURI since downstream Filters would not see the URL encoded
value as they should.
This commit resolves this issue by ensuring that the requestURI is properly encoded.
Issues SPR-15422
Previously ForwardedHeaderFilter would return the same StringBuffer for every invocation. This
meant that users that modified the StringBuffer changed the state of the HttpServletRequest.
This commit ensures that a new StringBuffer is always returned for ForwardedHeaderFilter.
Issue: SPR-15423
Prior to this commit, the `ShallowEtagHeaderFilter` could participate in
the response and set its ETag/Content-Length headers, even for HEAD
requests. Since the response body is empty, the filter implementation
would set a `"Content-Length: 0"`.
The RFC states that responses to HEAD requests should exhibit identical
response headers to GET (with the possible exception of payload related
headers such as Content-Length.
With this commit, `ShallowEtagHeaderFilter` now ignores HEAD requests
since the proper values may be set already for payload related headers
by the handler. The filter has no way to generate a proper ETag value
nor calculate the content length without the actual body.
Issue: SPR-15261
(cherry picked from commit b732251)
This commit checks that a "Content-Length" request header isn't already
present before adding one in `Netty4ClientHttpRequestFactory`.
`HttpMessageConverter` implementations can write that request header so
the Netty request factory should only write that value when the header
is missing.
If that header is not written (and since we're not dealing with
the HTTP exchange in a chunked-based fashion), the HTTP client might not
send the request body at all.
Issue: SPR-15241
This commit *adds* the "intercepted" headers to the ClientHttpRequest,
as opposed to replacing them, which is what happened before this commit.
