Small question regarding Spring Webflux WebClient please.
I have a netrc file at ~/.netrc The content is something like:
machine example.com
login abc
password qwerty
I use this netrc file in my curl command:
curl --netrc --insecure http://example.com:9876/API/abc
And I am getting the correct response, very happy.
I just need to migrate this curl command into Spring Webflux WebClient.
Therefore, I went to write this, here is what I tried:
final var webClient = WebClient.create().mutate().defaultHeader("machine","example.com", "login", "abc", "password", "qwerty").clientConnector(new ReactorClientHttpConnector(HttpClient.create())).build();
final var response = webClient.post().uri("http://example.com:9876/API/abc").retrieve().bodyToMono(String.class).block();
Please note I put the content of the netrc file onto the WebClient header.
Unfortunately, I am getting 401 unauthorized.
The content of the netrc file, which I pasted onto the header, is for sure correct.
Therefore, I am having a hard time understanding why is it failing.
What did I do wrong please?
Thank you
