addInterceptor

WebClientSession addInterceptor(Handler<io.vertx.ext.web.client.impl.HttpContext<?>> interceptor)

Description copied from interface: WebClient

Add interceptor in the chain.

The interceptor can maintain per request state with HttpContext.get(String)/HttpContext.set(String, Object).

A request/response can be processed several times (in case of retry) and thus they should use the per request state to ensure an operation is not done twice.

This API is internal.

Specified by:

addInterceptor in interface WebClient

Parameters:

interceptor - the interceptor to add, must not be null

Returns:

a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently
