Is there any way we can hide the headers in reporting or as part of logs something similar to RestAssured 'blacklistheaders'

Thinking of implementing this by:

1. Adding a variable set - blackListedHeaders in the constructor of logger
2. Adding a method - addBlackListHeader & removeBlackListHeader isHeaderBlacklisted which would accept a string to add/remove/check blacklisted headers.
3. sanitizeHeaders - which would check the object if it has headers && if the headers has any of the added blackListedHeaders -> and sanitise the object with [BLACKLISTED] value
4. use sanitizeHeaders in all the log methods - trace, debug, info, warn, error

@akhil7000 thanks for restarting the conversation, we have been thinking about implementing a Redaction logic for some time now.

I had to pause it because of other priorities. We are considering to push the changes with an optimised solution in the next release this week.
