Ability to decorate automatically instrumented HTTPClient Spans with Attributes

[TraGicCode]

Is there currently a way, or can there be a way, to allow users to attach "custom attributes" to individual automatically instrumented HTTP client request spans? It would be great to create dashboards for automatically instrumented HTTP client calls while also using custom attributes on those calls. For example, this could enable graphing calls per tenant to analyze response codes across tenants. Does this make sense or is it even possible to do this using the current .net newrelic agent?

Sorry for not responding to this for three weeks, @TraGicCode. It's been hectic with the Thanksgiving holiday. Somebody should take a look at this soon.

We do offer an API to add custom attributes to spans, but ensuring that you are setting them on the HttpClient span is going to be difficult. it would be easier and more reliable to set custom attributes on the transaction instead.

Another potential option, if the values are present as headers, would be to enable capture request headers on spans.
