Transparent Modification of HTTP Requests

# Introduction In this project, you will learn how to implement a transparent modification of HTTP requests using Go's `http.RoundTripper` interface. You will create a custom HTTP transport that calculates the MD5 hash of the request body and adds it to the request header as the "X-Md5" field. ## 👀 Preview ``` $ /usr/local/go/bin/go test PASS ok md5transport 0.004s ``` ## 🎯 Tasks In this project, you will learn: - How to encapsulate the `http.RoundTripper` interface to perform custom operations on HTTP requests and responses. - How to calculate the MD5 hash of the request body and add it to the request header. - How to reset the request body after calculating the MD5 hash to maintain the original request state. ## 🏆 Achievements After completing this project, you will be able to: - Understand the concept of transparent modification of HTTP requests in Go. - Implement custom HTTP transport layers that can perform various operations on requests and responses. - Apply the knowledge to enhance your own applications with additional functionality, such as authentication, logging, or request/response manipulation.
