ExceptionHandler for send requests and proxy responses in HttpProxy/ReverseProxy

[fbuetler]

Describe the feature

In case any interceptor fails with an exception, it is handled as a 502.

We propose to introduce an exceptionHandler in the HttpProxy to customize this behavior, analogously it is done in the HttpServerRequest, HttpServerResponse and many others.

Relevant code:

    proxy.sendRequest()
      .recover(throwable -> {
        log.trace("Error in sending the request", throwable);
        return Future.succeededFuture(proxyRequest.release().response().setStatusCode(502));
      })
      .compose(proxy::sendProxyResponse)
      .recover(throwable -> {
        log.trace("Error in sending the response", throwable);
        return proxy.response().release().setStatusCode(502).send();
      });

Use cases

When applying interceptors, the proxy may want to return status codes that differ to the hard-coded 502.

Contribution

I volunteer to implement this feature.

We propose to add the following methods to HttpProxy and ReverseProxy:

  HttpProxy requestExceptionHandler(Handler<Throwable> handler);
  HttpProxy responseExceptionHandler(Handler<Throwable> handler);

Alternatively, only exceptionHandler may be added that is to be used on both request and responses.

Ok I see, the default exception handler would take care of send 502 ?
