Spring Web Client configuration for fetching html. Here I am setting custom properties so that the webclient is able to recieve largver payload sizes. This is needed if you are planning on recieving web resources (suchs as html) from a webclient request.

WebClientConfig.java

import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.web.reactive.function.client.ExchangeStrategies;
import org.springframework.web.reactive.function.client.WebClient;

@Configuration
public class WebClientConfig {

    /**
     * This custom webclient configuration is needed
     * to specify max byte return value. This is needed
     * because the default size is not large enough for the html
     * webpages that this client will be requesting.
     */
    @Bean
    public WebClient webClient() {

        // 16 Bytes
        final int size = 16 * 1024 * 1024;

        // setting max byte return size in strategy
        final ExchangeStrategies strategies = ExchangeStrategies.builder()
                .codecs(codecs -> codecs.defaultCodecs().maxInMemorySize(size))
                .build();

        // returning a webclient with the configured strategy
        return WebClient.builder()
                .exchangeStrategies(strategies)
                .build();
    }

}
