 WARNING: When using the retry filter with any HTTP method with a body, the body will be cached and the gateway will become memory constrained. The body is cached in a request attribute defined by `ServerWebExchangeUtils.CACHED_REQUEST_BODY_ATTR`. The type of the object is a `org.springframework.core.io.buffer.DataBuffer`.
 
+A simplified "shortcut" notation can be added with a single `status` and `method`.

 === The `RequestSize` `GatewayFilter` Factory
 
 When the request size is greater than the permissible limit, the `RequestSize` `GatewayFilter` factory can restrict a request from reaching the downstream service.
