Resteasy-reactive and rest-client: propagation of headers doesn't work

Describe the bug

Hi, I have a production project using quarkus-resteasy(-jsonb) and quarkus-rest-client.

I wanted to give a try to the new quarkus-resteasy-reactive(-jsonb) extension so I replaced quarkus-resteasy-jsonb by this one in my pom. Everything compiles without any change to the code or config and the app starts without error but I noticed that the headers are not propagated from my endpoints to the rest clients anymore.

For headers propagation I use the DefaultClientHeadersFactoryImpl (by annotating my clients with @RegisterClientHeaders) with the org.eclipse.microprofile.rest.client.propagateHeaders property.

EDIT: I tried to implement the behavior myself with a custom ClientHeadersFactory, but the header is also null in the incomingHeaders MultivaluedMap.

From my readings of this blog article, I assume that resteasy-reactive and rest-client should be compatible (and except this issue, it seems to work), so it looks like a bug.

Expected behavior

The headers that are part of the original request should be propagated to the rest client, like it was the case with quarkus-resteasy.

Actual behavior

The headers are not propagated.

To Reproduce

I could create a small reproducer but it doesn’t seem necessary as I’m just using standard behavior. If you disagree, let me know and I’ll add one.

Configuration

I am going to close this as this works properly when using RESTEasy Reactive and the Reactive REST Client

Ok @geoand, I’ll do that. Thanks.
