stats_over_http c++/ipmap updates
convert to c++ plugin move ip allow setup to use ipmap if a config is used link it to remap to initiate plugin reload on config change
Just some notes for myself. After some discussions we want to:
- Remove the default of
_statswhen being used as a remap plugin, so that the remap itself becomes the endpoint - Still allow setting of the path via config file when running as a remap
This would let you do
map http://mystats.com http://whatever.com @plugin=stats_over_http.so
and just be able to hit stats without the _stats endpoint on a remap. It would still be optionally available via the config file though for things like ATC which would require this.
We still want to leave the global usage as is, allowing a config or if the file doesnt exist use the param as the path, or default to _stats just because global usage needs its own path. On a remap though it will be config file based or nothing at all
Strike that, reverse it :)
So we are just taking out the remap usage all together. Much of how this plugin works is legacy implementations, so if we want a remap plugin that can serve stats it should be done as just a whole new plugin written properly and so that it can be chained with other plugins.
For now removing the new remap functionality. I will leave the existing rewrite though as we still need the proper IP parsing/map but for remap it should be a new plugin designed around using the ServerIntercept
See https://github.com/apache/trafficserver/pull/8797 for stats_over_http reimplemented as a ServerIntercept.
