    - #### with

          public HttpClientBuilder with​(HttpClientOptions options)

      Configure the client options.
      Parameters:
        `options` - the client options
      Returns:
        a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently

    - #### with

          public HttpClientBuilder with​(PoolOptions options)

      Configure the client with the given pool `options`.
      Parameters:
        `options` - the pool options
      Returns:
        a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently

    - #### withConnectHandler

          public HttpClientBuilder withConnectHandler​(Handler<HttpConnection> handler)

      Set a connection handler for the client. This handler is called when a new connection is established.
      Parameters:
        `handler` -
      Returns:
        a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently

    - #### withRedirectHandler

          public HttpClientBuilder withRedirectHandler​(java.util.function.Function<HttpClientResponse,​Single<RequestOptions>> handler)

      Set a redirect handler for the http client.

      The redirect handler is called when a `3xx` response is received and the request is configured to follow redirects with `HttpClientRequest.setFollowRedirects(boolean)`.

      The redirect handler is passed the `HttpClientResponse`, it can return an `HttpClientRequest` or `null`.

      - when null is returned, the original response is processed by the original request response handler
      - when a new `Future` is returned, the client will send this new request
      The new request will get a copy of the previous request headers unless headers are set. In this case, the client assumes that the redirect handler exclusively managers the headers of the new request.

      The handler must return a `Future` unsent so the client can further configure it and send it.

      Parameters:
        `handler` - the new redirect handler
      Returns:
        a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently
