You can almost make a request hook plugin that does this.

1. Use getBodyText() to get the current body
2. Find an NPM module to generate the protobuf binary
3. Store the binary in a tmp folder
4. Use setBodyFile(path: string) to tmp location (This method does not yet exist)

As you can see, most of the pieces are in place to do this, except the last step. There is currently only a setBodyText(txt: string) method which will not work with binary data.

Thoughts on this approach, if it were possible?

Hi,

I do not really know how to apply the request hook plugin. Also, this seems a little cumbersome for creating a lot of requests. Have you tried it yourself?

Hello stale bot, this feature is hereby still requested.

There, now it won't close

The reason I suggest a plugin is because it seems like it would be a fairly niche use case, and it would be really useful to be able to customize the integration with external tools.

Sure, that would do. Sadly I don't know if I would be of any help. Thanks for looking into this! :)
