Description

Could an @Order annotation be added to the gatewayRestClientCustomizer bean? This would give users the ability to add a custom RestClientCustomizer that overrides the requestFactory if needed. I know the ClientHttpRequestFactory bean can be defined, but there could be certain scenarios where the user may have a RestClientCustomizer from a library that sets the requestFactory. Example, a RestClientCustomizer that configures a proxy.
