Hi all,
It is common to write protocol plugins that accept a non-HTTP protocol and
generate HTTP request using TSHttpConnectWithPluginId(). In this case, although
the HTTP transaction is technically an internal transaction, it is logically
external since it is generated directly on behalf of clients. To address this,
I'd like to propose an API to allow plugins to toggle whether a transaction is
considered internal or not.
tsapi void TSVConnInternalSet(TSVConn connp, int internal);
The sample usage is straightforward:
TSVConn vc = TSHttpConnectWithPluginId(addr, "plugin-name", 0);
TSVConnInternalSet(vc, false);
The corresponding implementation is
https://github.com/apache/trafficserver/pull/986 and the Jira ticket is
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-4825. I'll add a manual page before
committing.
thanks,
James
