it would be nice to be able to exclude attributes from the message body
when doing a PUT or POST in the invokeHTTP processor.  Currently, there's
no way to selectively choose which attributes go into the message body
without using a replaceText processor in front of it, but that completely
removes those attributes from being used later which is not always the
desirable.

There are lots of situations where it would be nice to be able to use some
flow attributes just in the request header or for other parts of the
processor configuration without including them in the message body itself.
For example, taking an authentication token that is carried along as a flow
attribute so it can be used in an authorization header and NOT included in
the body of the request.

In general, invokeHTTP needs to allow for more control over the format and
content of the message body being sent.
