Agreed! So there isn't any interface for modifying requests/responses at present, but it's definitely possible given the underlying approach. If you consider [this line of code](https://github.com/monasticacademy/httptap/blob/main/http.go...) where you have an HTTP request parsed from the <command> that ran and are about to send it out to the public internet: you could modify the request (or the response that is received a few lines further) in just the way that you would modify a normal http.Request in Go.

Yeah, for other readers who are looking at this thread, the connection is just that this (httptap) is a Monastic Academy project, and what that means is that there is a group of people living on 123 acres in Vermont according to a fairly traditional Buddhist monastic structure (though we are not ordained monks), and during the day we work on a number of technology and non-technology projects together. The link to the readme that sevg posted above is a good overview: https://github.com/monasticacademy/httptap?tab=readme-ov-fil...
