## org.springframework.http.client
Interface ClientHttpRequestInterceptor

    public interface ClientHttpRequestInterceptor

Intercepts client-side HTTP requests. Implementations of this interface can be registered with the `RestTemplate`, as to modify the outgoing `ClientHttpRequest` and/or the incoming `ClientHttpResponse`.

The main entry point for interceptors is `intercept(HttpRequest, byte[], ClientHttpRequestExecution)`.

Since:
  3.1

Method Summary
`ClientHttpResponse` | `intercept(HttpRequest request, byte[] body, ClientHttpRequestExecution execution)` Intercept the given request, and return a response.

Method Detail

### intercept

    ClientHttpResponse intercept(HttpRequest request,
                                 byte[] body,
                                 ClientHttpRequestExecution execution)
                                 throws java.io.IOException

  Intercept the given request, and return a response. The given `ClientHttpRequestExecution` allows the interceptor to pass on the request and response to the next entity in the chain.

  A typical implementation of this method would follow the following pattern:

  1. Examine the request and body
  2. Optionally wrap the request to filter HTTP attributes.
  3. Optionally modify the body of the request.
  4. Either
     - execute the request using `ClientHttpRequestExecution.execute(org.springframework.http.HttpRequest, byte[])`,
     or
     - do not execute the request to block the execution altogether.
  5. Optionally wrap the response to filter HTTP attributes.

  Parameters:
    `request` - the request, containing method, URI, and headers
    `body` - the body of the request
    `execution` - the request execution
  Returns:
    the response
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - in case of I/O errors
