HTTP appender / Possible to write custom Headers

[jeantristan]

Environment

Provide at least:

• Ruby Version : 3.0
• Semantic Logger Version : 4.12
• Application/framework names and versions : Rails 6.1
• Rails Semantic Logger Version, : 4.11

Expected Behavior

I want to use Logtail. It's possible to send log data with HTTPS calls using this structure:

curl -X POST \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer mytoken' \
-d '{"dt":"'"$(date -u +'%Y-%m-%d %T UTC')"'","message":"Hello from Logtail!"}' \
-k \
https://in.logtail.com

I tried some things like:

SemanticLogger.add_appender(
   appender:  :http,
   url:       "https://in.logtail.com",
   headers:    "Bearer mytoken",
   formatter: formatter
 )

However, I am not able to do it. I've read the documentation. I have seen no option. I also check the source code. But I did not manage to find a solution

Actual Behavior

Use HTTP appender with Authorization headers.

Agreed, does not look like that appender allows the header to be customized.

Does not look hard to do if you want to submit a pull request, passing in an optional header hash, and then ensuring the internal header settings don't overwrite the supplied values.
