requests-modifier's Issues

Add tests to the project

You can contribute by adding test cases for functional testing, react UI testing, etc.

Add a warning at the top of all pages when auto redirect is on

Use of this extension could be a danger if one is using a browser on someone else's computer with this extension enabled.
For example, if you are replacing facebook's login api address with a custom api, all the requests to login along with payload with credential will go to your custom API risking users' credentials.

Any ways to install this without cloning the code, Any plan for attaching assets under release

Add capability to return custom response codes

The extension currently returns the pre-defined responses with 200 response code.
A capability to return custom response codes like 2xx, 3xx, 4xx, 5xx would be helpful to make this a full package to help development.
