Trying to understand org.littleshoot.proxy.ChainedProxy.filterRequest(HttpObject)

I'm trying to understand what does method org.littleshoot.proxy.ChainedProxy.filterRequest(HttpObject) do.

Name filterRequest makes it sound like I can actually filter the request - like drop the request or change parameters. Since method is void, it can return any kind of data too?

Does the method allows me to change http headers

Yes you can use ChainedProxy.filterRequest(HttpObject) to change the request headers (assuming you're using http and not https).

Here's an example. I have a client program that doesn't support proxy authentication. I need to use it with a proxy that requires authentication. So, I used LittleProxy to create a simple proxy that accepts the requests, uses the filterRequest method to add a Proxy-Authorization header to all requests, and forwards them to the proxy that requires authentication.
