Support access to Connect services #106

Open LaoArchAngel opened 3 years ago

LaoArchAngel commented 3 years ago

One of the major features and offerings by Consul is the Connect service-mesh that provides secure communication between services. Both the HTTP API as well as the GO API provide a way to find these Connect services via the Catalog endpoint / object and would be very useful for dotnet apps trying to use these concepts as well.

I will be working on a PR for this if it's not already on someone's list as it's needed by my employer, but input would be very appreciated!

Thanks for the report.

I doubt that's the case, so your contribution will be much welcome. I cannot easily find which version of Consul introduced this API, do you happen to know this?

Looking forward to your PR.

I do not know the version; that is a good question. But their introduction video was published in 2018 so I'm assuming it was around that time?

It looks like it was introduced as a beta in v1.2.0.

Just wanted to give a bit of a heads up that my company has bumped this down in priority for a short time. It's still on my plate but I won't be able to get to it immediately. I have something that I think is worth testing soon, but I'll have to set up a working test environment first.

@LaoArchAngel How far did you get on this? Any chance you could share what you have, even though it is incomplete?
