Introducing http-request: Call your services directly from Traffic Policy

A new feature called "http-request" has been added to the Traffic Policy engine, enabling users to make HTTP calls to internal services directly from their traffic policies. This enhancement allows for request validation, dynamic traffic routing, and triggering side chain events without needing additional middleware or gateways. The http-request action can be used for various purposes, such as authentication, logging, and internal routing, by integrating calls to internal or external services, like Slack and OpenAI, via ngrok's internal endpoints. This feature offers full control over traffic handling by supporting actions both before and after service requests, and includes resilience mechanisms like retry logic for handling temporary service failures. The http-request action empowers users to create sophisticated service interactions with enhanced flexibility and reliability, inviting feedback and suggestions for further improvements.
