Description

What

This is a question / feature request.

In my use case, I would like to use dynamic and conditional toxics - I would like to program behaviour such that, upon observing a particular type of message in transit over the network / proxy, I would like to inject a corresponding fault. Would you have any idea how best to achieve this with Toxiproxy, if at all?

  • One idea that I have is to inspect proxied messages - is this supported today and, if not, would it be of interest for this tool to support it moving forward?

Thanks in advance!
