http_server

Sets up an HTTP server that will send messages over HTTP(S) GET requests. HTTP 2.0 is supported when using TLS, which is enabled when key and cert files are specified.

# Common config fields, showing default values

  label: ""
  http_server:

    allowed_verbs:
      - GET

Sets up an HTTP server that will send messages over HTTP(S) GET requests. If the address config field is left blank the service-wide HTTP server will be used.

Three endpoints will be registered at the paths specified by the fields path, stream_path and ws_path. Which allow you to consume a single message batch, a continuous stream of line delimited messages, or a websocket of messages for each request respectively.

When messages are batched the path endpoint encodes the batch according to RFC1341. This behaviour can be overridden by archiving your batches.
