feign.RetryableException: Incomplete output stream executing POST

An error occurred when I overwrote the headers using RequestInterceptor.

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-openfeign</artifactId>
            <version>2.1.2.RELEASE</version>
            <scope>compile</scope>
        </dependency>

RequestInterceptor.java

@Configuration
@Slf4j
public class FeignHeadConfiguration implements RequestInterceptor {

    @Override
    public void apply(RequestTemplate requestTemplate) {
        ServletRequestAttributes attrs = (ServletRequestAttributes) RequestContextHolder.getRequestAttributes();
        HttpServletRequest request = attrs.getRequest();
        Enumeration<String> headerNames = request.getHeaderNames();
        if (headerNames != null) {
            while (headerNames.hasMoreElements()) {
                String name = headerNames.nextElement();
                String value = request.getHeader(name);
                log.info("name:{},value:{}", name, value);
                requestTemplate.header(name, value);
            }
        }
    }
}

... 82 common frames omitted

Start with the RequestInterceptor.java example and the Feign Client.Default and RetryableFeignLoadBalancer stack frames. Reproduce the POST while copying incoming headers, then trace which header or request state leads to the incomplete output stream. Done means the cause is isolated and covered by a regression test or a clearly documented limitation.
