Description

Write an integration test that ensures that a client proxy records the proper metrics (i.e. reflecting mutual identity, pod metadata) when a client application emits HTTP requests that have IP-address authorities.

We should test at least:
* Kubernetes Service IPs;
* Individual pod IPs.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing integration-test entry points for client proxies and HTTP requests. Cover requests using Kubernetes Service IPs and individual pod IPs, then verify that recorded metrics reflect mutual identity and pod metadata for both cases.
