Firebase extension host

Description

I have setup the typesense extension in my Firebase project, but when trying to add a document, i get the following error:

Error detected in ext-firestore-typesense-search-indexToTypesenseOnFirestoreWrite {"@type":"type.googleapis.com/google.devtools.clouderrorreporting.v1beta1.Insight","errorGroup":"CNTlnprCi-zYJw","exceptionInfo":{"type":"Error","message":"timeout of 10000ms exceeded"},"errorEvent":{"eventTime":"2021-07-08T20:47:32.503Z","message":"Error: timeout of 10000ms exceeded\n at createError (/workspace/node_modules/axios/lib/core/createError.js:16:15)\n at RedirectableRequest.handleRequestTimeout (/workspace/node_modules/axios/lib/adapters/http.js:280:16)\n at RedirectableRequest.emit (events.js:376:20)\n at RedirectableRequest.emit (domain.js:532:15)\n at Timeout._onTimeout (/workspace/node_modules/follow-redirects/index.js:166:12)\n at listOnTimeout (internal/timers.js:555:17)\n at processTimers (internal/timers.js:498:7)","serviceContext":{"resourceType":"cloud_function","service":"ext-firestore-typesense-search-indexToTypesenseOnFirestoreWrite"}}}

I am hosting the server on my local machine for the time being, so perhaps the problem is stemming from the host name that I used when setting up the extension. I set up port forwarding in order to get a global IP address, and used that address XX.XX.XX:8108 as the host name. Sending curl requests via the terminal to that host name works, however.

Hi @aaronkbutler, the extension only supports HTTPS over 443. More context here: https://github.com/typesense/firestore-typesense-search/issues/4#issuecomment-870957252

Btw, one quick way to expose your local Typesense server via HTTPS would be to use something like ngrok

$ ngrok http 8108

ngrok by @inconshreveable                                                           (Ctrl+C to quit)

And then use c8cce57ee176.ngrok.io as the hostname in the extension.
