Description
When generating a client from a json schema, the requestBody of our login form is translated to use a byteArrayInputStream with the form information as an outputStream. This makes the requestBody show up as empty when trying to use SSL through a proxy to send a request.
There should be no reason to need an inputStream instead of just a normal string as content, seeing as the rest of the http requests are all turned into a string as well.
openapi-generator version
openapi-generator-maven-plugin 7.11.0
OpenAPI declaration file content or url

Steps to reproduce
using openapi-generator-maven-plugin in your pom.xml
- set the input spec to point to a json containing something like the call above
- I have supportUrlQuery=false because of requirements elsewhere in the json, don't know if this matters.
- run mvn clean package
- check the generated code of the client for
localVarRequestBuilder.header("Content-Type", entity.getContentType().getValue()).method("POST", BodyPublishers.ofInputStream(() -> new ByteArrayInputStream(formOutputStream.toByteArray())));

Research direction
Start with the OpenAPI Generator Java client output produced by the openapi-generator-maven-plugin 7.11.0, using the supplied JSON schema and running mvn clean package. Inspect the generated request for application/x-www-form-urlencoded, especially the BodyPublishers.ofInputStream call and formOutputStream handling. Done means the generated request sends the encoded form content correctly through the reported proxy scenario without using an input stream.
