Brian Clozel 72c8e5d366 Collect HTTP trace at commit time for WebFlux
Prior to this commit, the `HttpTraceWebFilter` would collect the
response information (status and headers) for tracing purposes, after
the handling chain is done with the exchange - inside a
`doAfterSuccessOrError`.

Once the handler has processed the exchange, there is no strong
guarantee about the HTTP resources being still present. Depending on the
web server implementation, HTTP resources (including HTTP header maps)
might be recycled, because pooled in the first place.

This commit moves the collection and processing of the HTTP trace right
before the response is committed. This removes the need to handle
special cases with exceptions, since by that time all exception handlers
have processed the response and the information that we extract is the
information that's about to be written to the network.

= Spring Boot - Actuator

Spring Boot Actuator includes a number of additional features to help you monitor and
manage your application when it's pushed to production. You can choose to manage and
monitor your application using HTTP or JMX endpoints. Auditing, health and metrics
gathering can be automatically applied to your application. The
https://docs.spring.io/spring-boot/docs/current/reference/htmlsingle/#production-ready[user guide]
covers the features in more detail.

== Enabling the Actuator
The simplest way to enable the features is to add a dependency to the
`spring-boot-starter-actuator` '`Starter`'. To add the actuator to a Maven-based project,
add the following '`Starter`' dependency:

[source,xml,indent=0]
----
	<dependencies>
		<dependency>
			<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
			<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-actuator</artifactId>
		</dependency>
	</dependencies>
----

For Gradle, use the following declaration:

[indent=0]
----
	dependencies {
		compile("org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-actuator")
	}
----

== Features
* **Endpoints** Actuator endpoints allow you to monitor and interact with your
  application. Spring Boot includes a number of built-in endpoints and you can also add
  your own. For example the `health` endpoint provides basic application health
  information. Run up a basic application and look at `/actuator/health`.
* **Metrics** Spring Boot Actuator provides dimensional metrics by integrating with
  https://micrometer.io[Micrometer].
* **Audit** Spring Boot Actuator has a flexible audit framework that will publish events
  to an `AuditEventRepository`. Once Spring Security is in play it automatically publishes
  authentication events by default. This can be very useful for reporting, and also to
  implement a lock-out policy based on authentication failures.
