Description
Records
http.request.header.content-lengthandhttp.response.header.content-lengthon outbound HTTP spans when the header is present.Uses
set_attribute()fromtracing_opentelemetry::OpenTelemetrySpanExtbecause the OTel attribute names contain hyphens, whichtracing's#[instrument]field system cannot represent.I didn't implement a test because I thought it's not worth to add another expensive integration test case just for a new field sent to OTel collector.
I used a small HTTP component and otel-desktop-viewer to verify this works as expected:
Addresses part of #3188 (Option 1).
