support for transport level context propagation #4256

Open trentjeff opened 2 years ago

trentjeff commented 2 years ago

Between client-side and server-side, we should be able to provide a means for developers to provide an extensible mechanism to have certain context attributes propagated (presumably over headers) to the remote server over a Helidon any Http Transport. @tomas-langer provided an example of this in an example he provided to some internal teams. The enhancement request here is to turn that example into a 1st class, supported framework mechanism in Helidon.

Relates tangentially to #4016

We should add automated pickup in MicroProfile. I will follow up on this issue
