http_client: Add required headers that might be missing depending on build #11008

DoumanAsh · 2025-10-10T00:11:32Z

For my local build I used following configuration to build:

cmake .. -D FLB_OUT_KAFKA_REST=off -D FLB_OUT_KAFKA=off -D FLB_EXAMPLES=off -D FLB_SHARED_LIB=off -D FLB_SIGNV4=off -DFLB_SIGNV4=Off -DFLB_AWS=Off -DFLB_FILTER_AWS=Off -DFLB_OUT_S3=Off -DFLB_OUT_KINESIS_FIREHOSE=Off -DFLB_OUT_KINESIS_STREAMS=Off -DFLB_OUT_CLOUDWATCH_LOGS=Off -DFLB_OUT_BIGQUERY=Off -DFLB_KAFKA=off -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DFLB_DEBUG=off -DFLB_RELEASE=on -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib -DFLB_WITHOUT_flb-it-pack=Yes -DFLB_WITHOUT_flb-it-utils=Yes -DFLB_WITHOUT_flb-it-aws_util=Yes -DFLB_WITHOUT_flb-it-aws_credentials_process=Yes -DFLB_TLS=Yes -DFLB_HTTP_SERVER=Yes  -G Ninja -DFLB_CORO_STACK_SIZE=24576 -DFLB_LUAJIT=off -DFLB_OUT_DATADOG=off -DFLB_OUT_AZURE=off -DFLB_OUT_AZURE_KUSTO=off -DFLB_OUT_PGSQL=off -DFLB_OUT_SLACK=off -DFLB_OUT_STACKDRIVER=off -DFLB_OUT_SPLUNK=off -DFLB_OUT_TD=off

It seems these headers are added transiently via other headers
I didn't look deeper into it but I found someone reporting similar problems
#9664

I was building version 4.1.0 on Alpine Linux (due to fluent-bit package still being in edge)

Summary by CodeRabbit

Chores
- Performed minor internal maintenance to align include dependencies with current modules, improving code consistency and future compatibility.
- Updated internal module references to maintain build reliability across environments.
- No user-facing impact: functionality, performance, and behavior remain unchanged.

Walkthrough

Two headers were added to src/flb_http_client.c: flb_config_map.h and flb_upstream_ha.h. No other code, logic, or control-flow modifications were made.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
HTTP client header additions `src/flb_http_client.c`	Included `flb_config_map.h` and `flb_upstream_ha.h`; no logic changes.

Poem

I thump my paws—two headers hop inside,
flb_config_map and HA at my side.
No branches moved, no logic left to chase,
Just cleaner hops in an old familiar place.

Do you have a Dockerfile we can use to test it with?

Please follow the contribution guide and PR template - your commits and PR title need updating to follow the standard.

No, I was testing it on my alpine server
I will prepare docker file and share it later

Will update, sorry about that

I created docker image with the same environment as my server (Alpine 3.22)
https://github.com/DoumanAsh/configs/blob/master/fluent-bit/docker/builder.Dockerfile

I'm using this patch https://github.com/DoumanAsh/configs/blob/master/fluent-bit/patch.txt to fix build

But if you use current v4.1.1 tag then build shall fail as following:

If you use my patch it successfully builds

Note that it includes direct link to fts library, but I'm actually not sure whether it is alpine specific thing or not so I kept it out of this PR
But missing headers are quite obvious problem in source code itself

Build command:

podman build -t fluent-bit-build -f builder.Dockerfile ../

DoumanAsh · 2025-10-10T12:08:30Z

Please note that I didn't create this PR to enable support of Alpine, only to let you know that missing includes can be adjusted to enable build without above mentioned features enabled
If you prefer regular linux build, let me know

Yeah I think musl is the problem on Alpine: https://docs.fluentbit.io/manual/installation/downloads/docker#why-there-is-no-fluent-bit-docker-image-based-on-alpine-linux

Thanks for the updates.

Yeah I think musl is the problem on Alpine: https://docs.fluentbit.io/manual/installation/downloads/docker#why-there-is-no-fluent-bit-docker-image-based-on-alpine-linux

Ah, but I'm successfully running my build of fluent-bit to collect logs and metrics, so far there have been no issues to it (I do not really use docker, but rather just run Alpine on my server)

Nevertheless, as I mentioned, the same issue (missing headers) is observed with debian based image so feel free to merge this PR if you'd like it fixed (I imagine it is not really issue for most)
