Body

This application modifies the body in onRequestBody and onResponseBody functions.

Application Flow

1. In onRequestHeaders it resets the content-length header. This is required as we are going to alter the body content.

2. In onRequestBody it reads in the body from get_buffer_bytes and checks if it contains the term Client, if so it alters the body using set_buffer_bytes.

3. In onResponseHeaders it resets the content-length header, sets the transfer-encoding header and ensures that the runtime property response.content_type is set according to what it has received in the headers.

4. In onResponseBody it finally reads and logs the known properties and the returns the body content.

This demonstrates the basic flow of how to manipulate the body in each life cycle hook, be mindful that altering the body requires you to manipulate the required headers before doing anything.

Also notice that we wait on the end_of_stream bool to be true before processing the body. This allows it to pass through multiple invocations buffering the content before we do any manipulation. ( you could also process this data in chunks if needed )
