/**
 * Represents an HTTP request or response entity, consisting of headers and body.
 *
 * Often used in combination with the {@link org.springframework.web.client.RestTemplate},
 * like so:
 * 
 * HttpHeaders headers = new HttpHeaders();
 * headers.setContentType(MediaType.TEXT_PLAIN);
 * HttpEntity<String> entity = new HttpEntity<>("Hello World", headers);
 * URI location = template.postForLocation("https://example.com", entity);
 * 
 * or
 *  * HttpEntity<String> entity = template.getForEntity("https://example.com", String.class);
 * String body = entity.getBody();
 * MediaType contentType = entity.getHeaders().getContentType();
 * 
 * Can also be used in Spring MVC, as a return value from a @Controller method:
 *  * @GetMapping("/handle")
 * public HttpEntity<String> handle() {
 *   HttpHeaders responseHeaders = new HttpHeaders();
 *   responseHeaders.set("MyResponseHeader", "MyValue");
 *   return new HttpEntity<>("Hello World", responseHeaders);
 * }
