Description

Is it possible to give the fuzzer a script to run before each request that updates some of the HTTP headers? For instance, I must sign each request in a specific manner (which is different for each request) and add it to the HTTP header. The signature is dynamic (depends on the request content) so I can't add it as a static field.

Thanks!

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the RESTler source code to find where HTTP headers are set, and design a callback or hook mechanism to allow custom scripts to modify headers per request.
