@Contract(threading=IMMUTABLE)
public class BasicResponseHandler
extends AbstractResponseHandler<String>

A ResponseHandler that returns the response body as a String for successful (2xx) responses. If the response code was >= 300, the response body is consumed and an HttpResponseException is thrown.
