Feature Request: Disable injection of DD tracing headers for some requests
Are you requesting automatic instrumentation for a framework or library? Please describe. This is for all HTTP requests.
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. We have external APIs that we hit which will block our traffic if the request has unexpected headers. There is an option to disable X headers entirely, but this also breaks downstream tracing for internal calls.
Describe the solution you'd like We would like to either have a blocklist for that partner, or an allowlist for our internal traffic.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Setting DD_TRACE_X_DATADOG_TAGS_MAX_LENGTH to 0 should disable for all HTTP requests.
