Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by tracing how plug_loopback copies or encodes conn.body_params, then determine where a caller-supplied encoder can be selected. Done means custom formats such as XML can be reconstructed from body_params when the caller provides the appropriate encoder.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

We need to provide an option to specify with which encoder to encode the conn.body_params in case we have a custom format.

For instance the request body could be an XML doc. We need to convert it back to XML from body_params (or any other field) and only the user can help us by specifying the right encoder.
