This introduces the
MessageFilter
class for implementing async filtering operations, specifically for messages. Response content (formerly "proxy" content) must still be filtered using the synchronousFilter
API.There are no actual async filters implemented yet, although all of the existing synchronous filters have been updated to derive from
MessageFilter
and emit async results immediately. This way we can start using the async API in connection handlers.Longer term, the plan is to introduce a
ResponseFilter
class for similarly handling response content, and then turnFilter
into a namespace. In preparation for this,MessageFilter
and related types are nested under theFilter
class.The goal of this reworking is not only to enable async operations but also to make the filtering API more clear. Instead of a single class with different modes, we'll have different classes with single modes.
