gelf: support HTTP authentication

[arvidvillen]

Description
When configuring Amazon Elasticsearch Service with public access and you don't want to configure IP based security it is recommended to use HTTP authentication and it would be nice if quarkus-logging-gelf supported that.

Implementation ideas
Even if its not very clear in the documentation it seems that the extension supports HTTPS by setting quarkus.log.handler.gelf.host to something like https://example.com/, however adding the credentials like https://username:[email protected]/ does not work.

Additional note
See mp911de/logstash-gelf#194

@arvidvillen the logstash-gelf library didn't support HTTP authentication yet so I put this enhancement on ice untill it supports basic auth, then we can have a look at supporting it (and documenting the HTTP support).

Has a feature request been open for logstash-gelf?

[loicmathieu]

Yes, it is already linked in the description and apparently @arvidvillen is working on it so as soon as it's released we can un-freeze this one and implement it.

[loicmathieu]

The enhancement has been done on the upstream library, it will be available on 1.15.0 wich is not yet publshed.

Hi @arvidvillen the new version of logstash-gelf has been integrated in Quarkus and support HTTP authentication.

Will you still willing to implement this for Quarkus ?
