Question

• What do you want to know?
  https://github.com/apache/incubator-skywalking/blob/5.x/docs/Supported-list.md

reactor.ipc.netty.http.client.HttpClient#request

When is the support for reactor netty HttpClient?

<dependency>
    <groupId>io.projectreactor.ipc</groupId>
    <artifactId>reactor-netty</artifactId>
    <version>0.7.8.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

I have tried to extend the reactor netty http plugin with reference to apache httpclient plugin, but it failed. I think the code of the plugin is not big. When can you support this?

My application architecture：

MicroService1, 2, 3 ... (SpringBoot, Feign, Skywalking agent) -> Spring Cloud Gateway (reactory netty, Skywalking agent) -> Service Providers (SpringBoot, Skywalking agent)

The plugin is really based on the community for the most time. Our PPMC just take care of some requirements, if they have interests.

@ascrutae Do you want to do this? Or tag this as help wanted.

I need it too.....

[wu-sheng]

@ascrutae I have just moved this from 5.1.0 to 6.0.0-beta.

[wu-sheng]

@JaredTan95 Which version should we set? GA or 6.1? I noticed different milestones in issue and pr.

[wu-sheng]

Keep this milestone matching the #2087 . Move to 6.1 for now.

[wu-sheng]

Spring Cloud Gateway 2.1.x is already supported.
