Description

One big piece of missing functionality is a plugin for inspecting and interacting with network traffic. Ideal features for this plugin:

  • Persist network request / response with relevant data via an OkHttpInterceptor.
  • Allow user to view a live list of request / response pairs, tapping into an item shows all associated data.
  • Allow user to modify the environment at runtime from a spinner populated with predefined base urls (potential dependency on #54)
  • Will likely need a no-op implementation of this plugin since the host app must reference the interceptor.

Research direction
Investigate existing Hyperion plugins to understand the plugin API (e.g., sample plugins in the repo). The issue mentions a dependency on #54 (dynamic base URLs) which should be considered. Check if there are any related PRs or comments. The no op implementation pattern used by other plugins should be followed. The OkHttpInterceptor can be based on standard OkHttp logging interceptors. The UI for live list and detail view should follow the existing Hyperion UI conventions. See the Hyperion documentation and source code for plugin registration and module setup.
