Feature Request: Request/Response filters

[Anthony_Galea]

It would be nice to have the possibility of setting request/response filters to manipulate request/responses accordingly.
Something like:

• ClientHttpRequestInterceptor for RestTemplate in Spring: https://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/javadoc-api/org/springframework/http/client/ClientHttpRequestInterceptor.html
• or filters in jersey: https://jersey.java.net/documentation/latest/filters-and-interceptors.html

What’s your usage?

[Anthony_Galea]

i have a usecase where end-to-end encryption is used similar to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TextSecure
i.e. i would like to encrypt all the requests in the gatling load test in the same manner and decrypt the responses
i have seen that you support gzip encoding of the request body but i would also need access to the headers

You probably want to use a SignatureCalcutor for requests and a ResponseTransformer for responses. See doc: http://gatling.io/docs/2.1.7/http/http_request.html
