HTTPS Connections From Tscached to KairosDB

[ehatch90]

I can't find a straightforward way to get Tscached to use https connections instead of just http connections when communicating to KairosDB and Grafana. We are trying to roll this out to test in our company but we need the traffic to be https. If there is a way to configure this already can it be made more obvious? If there is no way to do this right now can it be added?

Hi @ehatch90 , sorry for the late reply on this. It shouldn't be too hard - you'd want to patch the following locations:

• tscached/handler_meta.py around line 44
• tscached/utils.py around line 59

As well as making sure all the tests pass and adding new ones. Python requests supports HTTPS out of the box, and they have pretty excellent docs: http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/

Are you comfortable making a PR yourself? I can try to add it myself, but time is kind of tight these days...

Sorry wrong button there. I did get the code fix figured out but I am still figuring out how to do a pull request for it.

A pull request has been made #16 . Hopefully this helps.
