Intercepting and responding to requests on client-side

[Marko Asplund <ma...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I'd like to be able to intercept requests targeted for certain
endpoints issued by HttpClient and implement a custom handler for
those requests. The handler should be able to generate a response for
the requests on the client-side without actually connecting to a
remote server.

Is this possible with HttpClient?
I've looked at HttpRequestInterceptor and HttpResponseInterceptor
APIs, but these interceptors don't seem to be able to generate the
actual response.

Marco,

Please upgrade to 4.3 and have a look at the new execution chain APIs.
You can use the caching exec as an example of how HttpClient can be made
to respond with a response without hitting the target server.
