Changes
Added the option
Method
to theActiveHealthChecks
struct, which optionally sets the HTTP method used for the health check requests.Rational
It would be good to be able to use the
HEAD
HTTP method to limit transfers on upstreams that respond with a large body, or other methods for upstreams that only respond sensibly on eg.POST
.I specifically have a JSON RPC upstream that I would like to test and see if it is working. It has a well defined response body to a
POST
request, that lets the active health check determine if the underlying service is actually up and ready to serve requests.
