Cannot configure "http_method" within new config format

[decaz]

I'm trying to run RabbitMQ 3.7.0 with auth_http.http_method = post config setting, but I'm getting the following error:

Config file generation failed 13:19:51.969 [error] You've tried to set auth_http.http_method, but there is no setting with that name.
13:19:51.969 [error]   Did you mean one of these?
13:19:51.989 [error]     auth_http.topic_path
13:19:51.989 [error]     auth_http.user_path
13:19:51.989 [error]     auth_http.vhost_path
13:19:51.989 [error] Error generating configuration in phase transform_datatypes
13:19:51.989 [error] Conf file attempted to set unknown variable: auth_http.http_method

Is this configuration option is deprecated or renamed?

[michaelklishin]

Neither, it's simply not in the schema.

@michaelklishin I have updated RabbitMQ up to the version 3.7.1 and tried again, but there is an error:

The configuration is:

auth_backends.1 = internal
auth_backends.2 = http

auth_http.http_method   = post
auth_http.user_path     = http://some_url
auth_http.vhost_path    = http://some_url
auth_http.resource_path = http://some_url

See #62. We are considering doing a very quick 3.7.2.

[michaelklishin]

3.7.2 is out.

@michaelklishin thanks!
