I was wondering if there exists something like

spring.webclient.connectionPoolSize=100
spring.webclient.readTimeOut=1s

and other similar properties in the same way we configure default kafka or jdbc properties through the application.properties file.

Currently, all I can find is the option to create a custom connector and supply it to webclient like so:

WebClient webClient = WebClient.builder()
        .clientConnector(new ReactorClientHttpConnector(httpClient))
        .build();

It doesn’t seem the configuration can be externalized without writing some boilerplate code.
