HTTP Request Manipulation via REST API

[j1n6]

What's the timeline for this http request manipulation Rest API?

Note: I am looking for the feature of manipulating HTTP response body before a page renders in browsers.

Think this is already allowed. via the addRequestInterceptor() method which allows you to pass in your own HttpRequestInterceptor (from the apache HttpClient project: org.apache.http.HttpRequestInterceptor). Exposing this object allows you to manipulate every request or response body's Http headers. You can even get the entity's content via the response object.

Example:

ProxyServer proxyServer = new ProxyServer(9101);
proxyServer.start();

proxyServer.addRequestInterceptor(new HttpRequestInterceptor() {
public void process(HttpRequest request, HttpContext context) throws HttpException, IOException {
//request.removeHeaders("User-Agent");
//request.addHeader("User-Agent", "Bananabot/1.0");
Header[] headers = request.getAllHeaders();
System.out.println("\nRequest Headers\n\n");
for(Header h : headers) {
System.out.println("Key: " + h.getName() + " | Value: " + h.getValue());
}

        }
    });

public void process(HttpResponse response, HttpContext context)throws org.apache.http.HttpException, IOException {
Header[] headers = response.getAllHeaders();
System.out.println("\nResponse Headers\n\n");
for(Header h : headers) {
System.out.println("Key: " + h.getName() + " | Value: " + h.getValue());
}

            //new BufferedHttpEntity(response.getEntity())
            // do stuff with response.getEntity().getContent();
        }
    });

Just updated the request title, I was asking about replacing content through "Rest API", not Java API
