Description

It would be useful to be able to enrich messages with Stellar using 3rd party (or internal) REST services.  At a minimum this function would:

• Stellar function available to GET from an HTTP API
• Optional parameters for basic auth (user/password) which generate correct Authorization header
• Function returns null value for errors, connection failures etc and logs error
• Function must provide and use pooled connection objects at the process level
• Function must send Accept: application/json header
• A global setting must be available to set a proxy for all API calls, and if present the proxy must be used.
• Proxy authentication must also be supported using basic auth.
