Interface AbsoluteMiddlewareOptions

By default, middleware will be added to individual step in un-guaranteed order.

Handlers are ordered using a "step" that describes the stage of command execution at which the handler will be executed. The available steps are:

• initialize: The input is being prepared. Examples of typical initialization tasks include injecting default options computing derived parameters.

• serialize: The input is complete and ready to be serialized. Examples of typical serialization tasks include input validation and building an HTTP request from user input.

• build: The input has been serialized into an HTTP request, but that request may require further modification. Any request alterations will be applied to all retries. Examples of typical build tasks include injecting HTTP headers that describe a stable aspect of the request, such as Content-Length or a body checksum.

• finalizeRequest: The request is being prepared to be sent over the wire. The request in this stage should already be semantically complete and should therefore only be altered as match the recipient's expectations. Examples of typical finalization tasks include request signing and injecting hop-by-hop headers.

• deserialize: The response has arrived, the middleware here will deserialize the raw response object to structured response

  Unlike initialization and build handlers, which are executed once per operation execution, finalization and deserialize handlers will be executed foreach HTTP request sent.
