Description

I am looking for enriching the response headers of feign with custom key-value pair through custom ResponseInterceptor class.
However, I am facing UnsupportedOperationException due to UnmodifiableMap.

How do we achieve adding custom response headers with minimal code changes to our microservice?

Research direction

Start by tracing the custom ResponseInterceptor and the response-header handling that produces the reported UnsupportedOperationException from an unmodifiable map. Reproduce the exception in a minimal Feign client, then identify and verify the smallest supported change that allows custom response headers without requiring broader microservice changes.
