extends HttpEntity<T>

Extension of `HttpEntity` that adds a `HttpStatus` status code.

     ResponseEntity<String> entity = template.getForEntity("http://example.com", String.class);
     String body = entity.getBody();

     @RequestMapping("/handle")
     public ResponseEntity<String> handle() {
       HttpHeaders responseHeaders = new HttpHeaders();
       responseHeaders.set("MyResponseHeader", "MyValue");
       return new ResponseEntity<String>("Hello World", responseHeaders, HttpStatus.CREATED);
     }
