fix(otelx): accept OTLP server_url with URL path - #883
Conversation
Grafana Cloud and similar collectors use a base path such as /otlp. Schema rejected http(s) URLs, and SetupOTLP passed the whole value to WithEndpoint (host:port only), dropping the path. Parse URL endpoints into WithEndpoint + WithURLPath, appending /v1/traces unless present. Fixes ory#778
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe OTLP ChangesOTLP URL support
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The change allows full OTLP URLs, but authenticated HTTP endpoints can send credentials in plaintext and redirects can downgrade HTTPS requests while retaining them; malformed URL forms may also pass validation and sensitive URL components may be logged. These security and configuration risks should be fixed before merge. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Require an authority in HTTP(S) URLs.
The pattern accepts https:///otlp. url.Parse then returns an empty host, and SetupOTLP falls back to the host-and-port endpoint path. Configuration validation succeeds, but the exporter cannot use the configured URL.
Reject URL values without an authority. Add https:///otlp as a rejected schema case.

Reject authenticated HTTP exporters. When ServerURL uses http, reject the configuration if AuthorizationHeader is set, or omit the header before creating client options. Otherwise, the credential crosses an unencrypted connection and can be captured by a network attacker.

Reject HTTPS-to-HTTP redirects before sending trace credentials.
otlptracehttp.NewClient uses a default http.Client without CheckRedirect. Go preserves Authorization when the redirect keeps the same host, even if it changes HTTPS to HTTP. Configure a redirect policy that rejects scheme downgrades, and add a regression test.
