Feature Request - support dynamic responses based on ID in request

This is the feature request in the verifier that introduced custom middleware.

https://github.com/pact-foundation/pact-provider-verifier/pull/27/files

Would we be looking at implementing something like this?

I've been musing about how to make the generated contract more useful as a stub for quite a long time, and one of the reasons I haven't gotten around to it is that it always required putting extra information into the unit test interaction that wasn't actually going to be used by the unit test. I couldn't work out how to do it elegantly!

Custom middleware would be one way to achieve this without messing with the contract. I like where that is going. Are you interested in doing a small spike @YOU54F?

Yeah having a think about it, will see what I can rustle up, as this along with the query param matching in the mock service are the two things we are missing in the pact stub service, and it would save me a load of work and headache having to move everything over to wiremock.

My devs are giving me grief about it, and want to switch to wiremock, and although I can use the pact mock verifier to ensure that the wiremock service they create, stay in sync with the pact, they think it is additional maintenance overhead. I disagree, as I believe if they are creating wiremock as a separate thing to the pacts, we would want to ensure that they are actually representative of the providers they are mocking.

Hey @YOU54F @bethesque , just curious if there was any further movement on this topic?
