We are using an enterprise service bus where different users have different authorisations and use different client certificates. So I need to be able to configure multiple client certificates for the same host.

This PR allows changing the host of the http request in the certificate settings so one can define an alias for every different certificate on the same host.

Another option to achieve the same effect would be to be able to define a certificate on every request but that is a bigger change and requires more duplication in the http files themselves.

Example use:

config.json

{
    "rest-client.certificates": {
        "esbnode_certa": {
            "hostname": "esbnode",
            "pfx": "user_a.p12",
            "passphrase": "pw_a"
        },
        "esbnode_certb": {
            "hostname": "esbnode",
            "pfx": "user_b.p12",
            "passphrase": "pw_b"
        }
    }
}

And then in the http file:

### with cert a
GET https://esbnode_certa/operation

### with cert b
GET https://esbnode_certb/operation

Hi @mpcjanssen
Instead of having hostname in certificate block, can we have requestUrl as below

{
    "rest-client.certificates": {
        "certa": {
            "requestUrl": "https://example.com/path1",
            "pfx": "user_a.p12",
            "passphrase": "pw_a"
        },
        "certb": {
            "requestUrl": "https://example.com/path2",
            "pfx": "user_b.p12",
            "passphrase": "pw_b"
        }
    }
}

And then users can simple use regular syntax or can follow the same syntax of having per-request settings standard as
Regular Syntax:

GET https://example.com/path1/operation

###
GET https://example.com/path2/operation

Per-request settings:

# @cert certa
GET https://example.com/path1/operation

###
# @cert certb
GET https://example.com/path2/operation
GET
