[Feature request] Allow reusing the original request even if asObject has failed #60

Closed joshgontijo closed 6 years ago

joshgontijo commented 7 years ago

From #113

Suppose I do a request, and use asObject(MyObject.class), and this fails. I can't do anything anymore with the response if parsing has failed which makes this method useless to me. I have to resort to parsing it myself using jackson or gson in order to avoid doing a second request just to reparse it.

It should somehow be possible to provide an alternative strategy to apply if the first one fails.

This issue can be avoided by registering the appropriate mapper for the response. The body is parsed based upon the content negotiation.
