  init:function(config,logger,stats){
    return {
    onrequest:function(req,res,[options],next){
    },
    ...
    }
  }
}

the available handlers are

• on_request
• ondata_request
• onend_request
• on_response
• ondata_response
• onend_response
• onclose_response
• onerror_response

The handler signature will look like :

function(sourceRequest,sourceResponse,[options],next){}

• sourceRequest: the request from the northbound server;

• sourceResponse the response to the northbound server;

• options: are the full scope of fields you might need to operate on.

  	const options = {
      targetResponse: options.targetResponse,
      targetRequest: options.targetRequest,
      sourceRequest: options.sourceRequest,
      sourceResponse: options.sourceResponse,
      data: data
    };

• you must call next with an error if you errored out like

next([err])
